Twenty Four Hours from Tulsa — текст песни (Burt Bacharach)

Dearest darling

I had to write to say that I wont be home anymore

cause something happened to me

While I was driving home and Im not the same anymore



Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from tulsa

Ah, only one day away from your arms

I saw a welcoming night

And stopped to rest for the night



And that is when i saw her

As I pulled in outside of the small hotel she was there

And so I walked up to her

Asked where I could get something to eat and she showed me where



Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from tulsa

Ah, only one day away from your arms

She took me to the cafe

I asked her if she would stay

She said "o. k."



Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from tulsa

Ah, only one day away from your arms

The jukebox started to play

And nighttime turned into day



As we were dancing closely

All of a sudden I lost control as I held her charms

And I caressed her kissed her

Told her Id die before I would let her out of my arms



Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from tulsa

Ah, only one day away from your arms

I hate to do this to you

But I love somebody new

What can I do?



And I can never, never, never

Go home again
