vance gilbert - rocket to the moon كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
well, he bumped into her cutting in line
at the local five and dime
it was a hot, small town day
excused himself politely and asked her name
and she told him
as they started out towards the parking lot together
as they walked they talked about how long the summer seemed
especially for her, see, she was just a working girl
you know, day in, day out, nine to five, same old, same old
but he _ he was a college boy and he couldn’t wait to get through
’cause he’d have his degree, yeah
well when they got to her car
she opened up the back, threw her bags in
and realized he was still talking about school
his school _ hmmm
well she didn’t get a word in edgewise
as to what she was doing for a job that summer
but she didn’t want to be rude, either, ’cause he seemed so nice
so to hold up her end of the conversation
you know, keep things moving
she thought she’d ask him
what he planned to with his degree when he was through
and this is what he told her
he said
[chorus]
“i can send a rocket to the moon
i can turn atoms into hot and blinding light
i can put a satellite into sp_ce above
as as soon as i do that i’m gonna find a little time for love.”

[verse 2]
well they were married one year later on the 25th of june
there was rice, champagne, violins, and a two_week honeymoon
and then the years went by
there were diapers to change, lunches to make
and a pta meeting every third tuesday night, mmm hmm
with the kids back in school and him hardly ever home
she thought this might be a nice time for her
to pick up a part_time job of her own
or, or maybe she’d go back to school herself
oh she got so excited by the prospect
she picked up all the forms
called him up at work just to see what he thought, well

[bridge]
he made the bombs bursting in the air
she made sure his shirts were always there
ironed pressed and cleaned
“there’s no need for you to work or go back to school” he said
“i’m doing everything for both for us
’cause it’s a real important job i do”
[chorus]
i can send a rocket to the moon
i can turn atoms into hot and blinding light
i can put a satellite into sp_ce above
as as soon as i do that i’m gonna find a little time for love
yeah, find that little bit of time

[verse 3]
well he called her up one morning
to remind her to pick up his shirts at the cleaners
and she sounded a little bit preoccupied
so he asked her, “honey, what’s going on?”
she said, “nothing much
i’m just doing a little painting with some friends.”
“oh how nice, she’s got a hobby.”
later that afternoon he got a call from downstairs
it was his boss saying, “man, you better get down here
’cause there’s a bunch of peach marchers outside
and they got signs in hand
you’re gonna have to come out and have ’em removed, arrested
make a statement too, see”

[bridge]
he made the bombs bursting in the air
she made sure his shirts were always there
ironed pressed and cleaned
as he stepped up to speak, he saw her standing there
as she stepped into the police wagon
she held up her sign, and it said
[chorus]
you can send a rocket to the moon, yes you can
you can turn atoms into hot and blinding light
you can put a satellite into sp_ce above
well if you can do all that then you can
find a little time for it
if we can send a rocket to the moon, yes
if we can turn atoms into hot and blinding light
if we can put a satellite into sp_ce above
well if we can do all that then we can
find a little time for love
find
