Luyện nghe bài hát No Regrets

Lucy was 7 and a head of blue barrettes
City born, into world with no knowledge and no regrets
Had a piece of yellow chalk with which draw upon the street
The many faces of the various that she would meet

There was Joshua, age 10, bully of the
Who always took her money at the morning bus stop
There was Mrs. Crabtree and her
She gave a wave and holler on her weekly trip
Down to the parlor

And she drew, men, women, kids, sunsets,
And she drew, skyscrapers, fruit stands, cities,
Always said hello to passersby, ask her why she passed her time
Attachin' lines to concrete, but she would only

Now all the children living in or near her building
Ran around like tyrants, soaking up the fire hydrants
They would say, "Hey little Lucy, come jump double dutch?"
Lucy pause, look, grin and say, "I'm busy, thank you much"

Well, well, one year and believe it or not
She covered every inch of the entire sidewalk and she stopped
"Lucy, after all this, you're giving in today?"
She said, "I'm not giving in, I'm finished", and away

1 2 3, that's the of the seed
A B C, that's the of the need
You can dream a little or you can live a little dream
I'd rather live it, 'cuz dreamers always but never get it

1 2 3, that's the of the seed
A B C, the speed of the need
You can dream a little dream or you can live a dream
I'd live it, 'cuz dreamers always chase but never get it

Lucy was 37, and introverted
Basement apartment in the same building she up in
She traded in her blue barrettes for long locks held up with a
in her yellow chalk for charcoal sticks

And she drew, little Bobby who would come to sweep the
And she drew, the mailman, delivered at 4
Lucy had very contact with the folks outside her cubicle day
But she found it suitable, and she it that way

She had a man now, Rico, similar,
They would see each other once or twice a week on purpose
They appreciated and Rico was an artist too
So they'd connect on to share the pictures that they drew

Now month or so, she'd get a knock upon the front door
one of the neighbors
Actin' nice, although she was a girl, really sad
"Hey, Lucy, join me for some lunch?"
Lucy smile and say, "I'm busy, thank you much"

And they would a weird face the second the door shut
And run and tell friends how truly crazy Lucy was
And Lucy what people thought but didn't care
while they spread their rumors through the street
She'd another masterpiece

1 2 3, that's the speed of the
A B C, that's the speed of the
You can dream a dream or you can live a little dream
I'd rather live it, 'cuz dreamers chase but never get it

1 2 3, the speed of the seed
A B C, that's the of the need
You can dream a dream or you can live a little dream
I'd rather live it, 'cuz dreamers chase but never get it

Lucy was 87, upon her bed
At the home, where she had previously checked in
Traded in the locks and clips for a head
in the charcoal sticks for arthritis, it had to happen

And she drew no more, just sat and the dawn
Had a television in the that she'd never turned on
Lucy pinned up a life worth's of pictures on the
And sat and smiled, looked each one over, to laugh at it all

Now Rico, he had passed, 'bout 5 years
So the visiting hours in a big flock o' nothin'
She'd never spoken once throughout the spanning of her
Until the day she leaned forward, grinned and the nurse aside
And she

"Look, I've never had a in my life
Because a is what you wanna do, but still haven't pursued
I knew I wanted and did it till it was done
So I've the dream that I wanted to be since day one!"

Well, the jumped back
She'd never Lucy even talk, 'specially words like that
She walked over to the door, and it closed behind
Then Lucy a kiss to each one of her pictures and she died

1 2 3, the speed of the seed
A B C, that's the of the need
You can a little dream or you can live a little dream
I'd rather it, 'cuz dreamers always chase but never get it

1 2 3, that's the speed of the
A B C, the speed of the need
You can dream a little dream or you can live a little
I'd rather live it, 'cuz always chase but never get it

1 2 3, A B C, 1 2 3, A B C
1 2 3, A B C, 1 2 3, A B C

1 2 3, A B C, 1 2 3, A B C
