Everyone has what life gives to him
A lucky break or two
Some castle in the sky
Everyone has, everyone has, everyone has
Life mocks and sleeps at the fools’ feet
It mixes sugar and tears
It babbles about dreams it has
So do we, so do we, so do we
When I sit in a movie theater
And he in this film
Touches her lips
I quiver all over, I quiver all over
Take what you want, take my years
My devil I’ll give you a poem
Only give me, give me, give me but once
The great true love
Oh, take what you want, take my soul
My devil I’ll give you a poem
Only give me, give me, give me but once
The great true love
That’s how it is, sometimes swing, sometimes jazz
A full pitcher, an empty laugh
I had two, maybe three
Great sin, great sin, great sin
Everyone has what life gives to him
A lucky break or two
Some castle in the sky
Everyone has, everyone has, everyone has
When I sit in a movie
And he in this film
Touches her lips
I quiver all over, I quiver all over
Take what you want, take my years
My devil I’ll give you a poem
Only give me, give me, give me but once
The great true love
Oh, take what you want, take my soul
My devil I’ll give you a poem
Only give me, give me, give me but once
The great true love
