Luyện nghe bài hát No Regrets

Lucy was 7 and wore a head of barrettes
City born, into this with no knowledge and no regrets
Had a of yellow chalk with which she'd draw upon the street
The many faces of the various locals that she would

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

And she drew, men, women, kids, sunsets,
And she drew, skyscrapers, stands, cities, towns
Always said hello to passersby, they'd ask her why she passed her
Attachin' lines to concrete, but she only smile

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

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

1 2 3, the speed of the seed
A B C, that's the speed of the
You can a little 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 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

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

And she drew, little Bobby who would come to sweep the
And she drew, the mailman, everyday at 4
Lucy had very little contact with the folks her cubicle day
But she it suitable, and she liked 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 Saturdays to share the pictures they drew

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

And they would make a weird face the the door shut
And run and tell their friends how crazy Lucy was
And Lucy knew what people thought but care
'Cuz while 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 of the need
You can dream a little dream or you can live a dream
I'd rather live it, 'cuz always 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 little dream or you can live a little
I'd rather live it, 'cuz dreamers always but never get it

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

And she no more, just sat and watched 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 back
So the visiting hours pulled in a big flock o'
She'd never spoken throughout the spanning of her life
Until the day she leaned forward, grinned and pulled the aside
And she

"Look, I've had a dream in my life
Because a dream is what you do, but still haven't pursued
I what I wanted and did it till it was done
So been the dream that I wanted to be since day one!"

Well, the nurse jumped
She'd never heard Lucy even talk, 'specially words like
She walked to the door, and pulled it closed behind
Then Lucy blew a kiss to one of her pictures and she died

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

1 2 3, that's the of the seed
A B C, the speed of the need
You can a little dream or you can live a little dream
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
