Outside the lights,

Outside the starlight's burning bright

Like a picture from a baby's lullaby.
The sparkle in her eyes, when she was young,
A
Seem to glow, seem to glow in time
E
With the beating of her little heart next to mine.

Ain't nobody cryin', colorin' outside the lines,

I got my applause tryin' to figure out what I am now
E
And you tell me that doesn't matter anyhow.

Outside the lines, outside the lines.

Outside the lines, outside the lines.
