These black and white nights fill my mind

Like a dream from a movie scene 

I’m on screen everybody’s looking at me 

I don’t know why

Stop looking I can feel your eyes

How am I supposed to shine this bright every night

The world passes in a blur

It don’t occur to me to search anywhere but here 

for fear of everything and anything 

and nothing at the same time

I’ve got too much and not enough on my mind

How am I supposed to navigate life alone?

‘Cos Audrey life don’t ever turn out beautiful 

And Audrey life don’t never seem to be going right 

‘Cos Audrey life don’t ever turn out beautiful 

But Audrey I’d find beauty at your side

Then I see your face and everything falls into place

and I know nothing but it don’t mean nothing 

Because you’ve got something beautiful 

Falling from you like a waterfall, 

Now I’ve seen your eyes, 

How am I supposed to look at anyone else?

But life ain’t beautiful 

In fact it’s awful cold 

When you’re sitting all alone 

And I know that you’re gone forever, and I missed ya

I’d give my life for a chance just to kiss ya

Audrey, girl you know your spell transcends time

‘Cos Audrey life don’t ever turn out beautiful 

And Audrey life don’t never seem to be going right 

‘Cos Audrey life don’t ever turn out beautiful 

But Audrey I’d find beauty at your side

It was so long ago, 

when life was hard and time was slow 

but Audrey you were shining oh so bright,

I remember you and me, 

we were there at Tiffany's and I asked you 

would you stay with me tonight.

We spoke of me and you, 

some was sad but all was true, 

oh Audrey it never would have worked,

We went our separate ways, 

lived our lives on different days, 

but Audrey I still feel the hurt

Well I’m lost in a world I don’t know

And everywhere I go I see the same show

There’s a girl with a mini-skirt, 

a guy with a dark shirt

Secret betrayed by her knee dirt

How am I supposed to find a princess in all this mess?

We keep searching for a question 

when the answer’s right in front of us, 

blinded by our arrogance, act like an animal 

then that’s what we’ll be called 

Maybe we’re all apes after all 

With mankind you can’t help but become disillusioned 

‘Cos Audrey life don’t ever turn out beautiful 

And Audrey life don’t never seem to be going right 

‘Cos Audrey life don’t ever turn out beautiful 

But Audrey I’d find beauty at your side

Audrey you’re my light in the darkest night 

Keep me hoping heart open 

that I’ll find a better place 

and some peace of mind

Maybe I can find a girl like you to call mine

Audrey, girl you shine so much brighter than the sun 

When I was young I didn’t care

But now I feel I’ve gotta share, 

gotta bare my soul to a jury of my peers, 

Can you hear my fear?

I’m distraught but I still can’t shed a tear

Audrey I’m so tired I just can’t cry no more 

‘Cos Audrey life don’t ever turn out beautiful 

And Audrey life don’t never seem to be going right 

‘Cos Audrey life don’t ever turn out beautiful 

But Audrey I’d find beauty at your side

Beauty at your side

Beauty at your side

But Audrey I’d find beauty at your side

But Audrey I’d find beauty at your side
