    meat loaf
    well i remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday
    parking by the lake and there was not another car in sight
    and i never had a girl looking any better than you did
    and all the kids at school they were wishing they were me that night

    pre meat loaf
    and now our bodies are oh so close and tight
    it never felt so good it never felt so right
    and we’re glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
    glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
    c’mon hold on tight
    well c’mon hold on tight

    meat loaf ellen foley
    though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night
    i can see paradise by the dashboard light

    ain’t no doubt about it we were doubly blessed
    ’cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely dressed
    ain’t no doubt about it baby got to go and shout it
    ain’t no doubt about it we were doubly blessed
    ’cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely dressed

    meat loaf
    baby don’tcha hear my heart you got it drowning out the radio
    i’ve been waiting so long for you to come along and have some fun
    and i gotta let you know no you never gonna regret it
    so open up your eyes i got a big surprise it’ll feel all right
    well i wanna make your motor run

    pre meat loaf
    and now our bodies are oh so close and tight
    it never felt so good it never felt so right
    and we’re glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
    glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
    c’mon hold on tight
    well c’mon hold on tight

    though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night
    i can see paradise by the dashboard light
    though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night

    you got to do what you can
    and let mother nature do the rest
    ain’t no doubt about it
    we were doubly blessed
    ’cause we were barely seventeen
    and we were barely

    breakdown

    spoken interlude phil rizzuto
    ok here we go we got a real pressure cooker going here
    two down nobody on no score bottom of the ninth
    there’s the windup and there it is a line shot up the middle
    look at him go this boy can really fly
    he’s rounding first and really turning it on now
    he’s not letting up at all he’s gonna try for second
    the ball is bobbled out in center and here comes the throw
    and what a throw he’s gonna slide in head first
    here he comes he’s out no wait safe safe at second base
    this kid really makes things happen out there
    batter steps up to the plate here’s the pitchhe’s going
    and what a jump he’s got he’s trying for third here’s the throw
    it’s in the dirtsafe at third holy cow stolen base
    he’s taking a pretty big lead out there
    almost daring him to try and pick him off
    the pitcher glances over winds up and it’s bunted
    bunted down the third base line the suicide squeeze is on
    here he comes squeeze play it’s gonna be close here’s the throw here’s the play at the plate
    holy cow i think he’s gonna make it

    i couldn’t take it any longer
    lord i was crazed
    and when the feeling came upon me
    like a tidal wave
    started swearing to my god and on my mother’s grave
    that i would love you to the end of time
    i swore that i would love you to the end of time

    so now i’m praying for the end of time
    to hurry up and arrive
    ’cause if i gotta spend another minute with you
    i don’t think that i can really survive
    i’ll never break my promise or forget my vow
    but god only knows what i can do right now
    i’m praying for the end of time
    it’s all that i can do
    praying for the end of time
    so i can end my time with you

    well it was long ago and it was far away it never felt so good
    and it was so much better that it is today
    well it was long ago and it was far away
    it never felt so good
    and it was so much better that it is today
    it never felt so right
    it was long ago and it was far away
    and we were glowing like
    and it was so much better that it is today
    a metal on the edge of a knife
    it was long ago and it was far away
    it never felt so good
    and it was so much better that it is today
    it never felt so right
    it was long ago and it was far away
    and we were glowing like
    and it was so much better that it is today
    a metal on the edge of a knife
    it was long ago and it was far away
    it never felt so good
    and it was so much better that it is today
    it never felt so right
    it was long ago and it was far away
    it never felt so right
    and it was so much better that it is today
