Pieces Of Love    Back

They met in school when they were only fifteen

Instead of getting good grades, Jimmy was getting in her jeans

Now Sally’s 17 with a baby by her side

Jimmy’s got two jobs just to keep them alive

 

They lived hand to mouth, but they had a T.V.

And a car outside their flat on 42nd street

A bit too much pride to ask their families

Lord, help the man who’s living on dreams

 

But they’ve got pieces of love to hold on to

Pieces of love to see each other through

And a faith that there’ll be enough

Little pieces of love

 

Now all Jimmy feels is the weight of his world

Sally’s just lonely, she never sees the other girls

Lost is the innocence, lost is the youth

They found the hard times, and the sobering truth

 

Jimmy sits at the table

He never thought life could be so tough

In walks daddy’s little angel

And he knows there’s more than enough
