WE USED TO CHASE
THAT BOY
HOME FROM SCHOOL
WE CALLED HIM
FRECKLE FACED
RED-HEADED FOOL
HE WAS DIFFERENT
HE WASN'T COOL LIKE ME
AND STICKS AND STONES
DIDN'T BREAK
ANY BONES
BUT WE NEVER LEFT
WELL ENOUGH ALONE
THEN ONE DAY
HE RAN AWAY
FROM HOME
YOU SEE
AND I PASSED HIM
AS HE WALKED AWAY
AND IN HIS EYES
I HEARD HIM SAY
ONE OF THESE DAYS
YOU'RE GONNA LOVE ME
YOU'LL SIT DOWN
BY YOURSELF
AND THINK
ABOUT THE TIMES YOU
PUSHED AND SHOVED ME
AND WHAT GOOD
FRIENDS
WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN
AND THEN YOU'RE
GONNA SIGH A LITTLE
AND MAYBE EVEN
CRY A LITTLE BUT
ONE OF THESE DAYS
YOU'RE GONNA LOVE ME
4 BAR
BREAK
PATTY SUE WAS A
SMALL TOWN BEAUTY
I TOOK ONE LOOK AT HER
AND HAD TO PULL HER
TO ME
LORD KNOWS SHE
SHOULD HAVE SEEN
RIGHT THROUGH ME
WHEN I PROMISED HER
THE WORLD
BUT AT SEVENTEEN
YOU ONLY WANT
ONE THING
I LEFT HER STANDIN'
WITH MY HIGH SCHOOL
RING
INNOCENT TEARS
IN A POURING RAIN
AS I WALKED AWAY
BUT I STILL SEE HER
IN MY DREAMS
AND TO THIS DAY
SHE'S WHISPERING
ONE OF THESE DAYS
YOU'RE GONNA LOVE ME
YOU'LL SIT DOWN
BY YOURSELF AND THINK
ABOUT THE TIME
YOU TURNED FROM ME
AND WHAT GOOD
FRIENDS
WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN
AND THEN YOU'RE
GONNA SIGH A LITTLE
AND MAYBE EVEN
CRY A LITTLE BUT
ONE OF THESE DAYS
YOU'RE GONNA LOVE ME
4 BAR
BREAK
NOW EVERYBODY
STANDS UP
THE CONGREGATION
SINGS
IT'S A SONG OF
SWEET FORGIVENESS
AND AS
THE CHORUS RINGS
THE WIND BLOWS
CLEAR MY MEMORY
THE PAGES START
TO TURN
THEN SUDDENLY
I'M SEEING
THE MOMENT
THAT I LEARN
ONE OF THESE DAYS
I'M GONNA LOVE ME
AND FEEL THE JOY OF
SWEET RELEASE
ONE OF THESE DAYS
I'LL RISE ABOVE ME
AND AT LAST
I'LL FIND SOME PEACE
THEN I'M GONNA SMILE
A LITTLE
AND MAYBE EVEN LAUGH
A LITTLE BUT
ONE OF THESE DAYS
I'M GONNA LOVE ME
