I know it's the same old song I'm singing
But this time these words are just for you
That's the only thing that's new.
I know that I've sung about a million
Borrowed lines and phrases from a few.
This one's still as good as new.
Without the fanfare I love you.
verse 2
By day I move words around like flowers.
I deliver by the afternoon
'cause the piper calls the tune.
Today I made full use of the hours.
I explored the smallest avenue
And that feeling still came through.
Without the fanfare I love you.
Bridge
Sure I've lost my way sometimes
But I've had to pay.
Sometimes I've gone completely overboard.
Moved a million phrases round,
tried to make them leave the ground,
Still the only line that soared
Bidding all the rest, "adieu",
Sounding still as good as new,
Without the fanfare I love you.
verse 3
Hello, do I still have your attention?
I forgot to mention thanks again
from the captain and the crew.
And so, without the sweet perfume or roses
I hope you can still believe it's true
Stripped of all that much ado--
Without the fanfare I love you.
Without the fanfare I love you.
