lost track of what i had to get done   not meeting anyone   stuck in one place while the snowflakes all come down   oh they're coming down   yeah, they're coming down now      poke fun at my incompetence   doesn't make that much sense   my qualification shrinks as i'm getting old   as i'm getting old   as i'm getting older   all the while      love seems to be on my mind   seems to be all the time   this is the way i always start my songs   singing and swinging along   singing and swinging along, well      oh no, that anonymous feeling is true   so vague and pale- that blue   spending all my quality time with the tv   is the last thing i should do   it's the last thing i should do      so long for respectable thoughts   i roam   plus fourty four long distance call   making me wish i was not here at home   now tell me all about rome   tell me all about rome      love seems to be on my mind   seems to be all the time   oh what a lovely way to spend your life   not needing anything   just walk around and sing      i took a train   i took a plane   i had to get out of this place   and find my love   where had she gone?   she was lost in all this stress   why must i work when i can just travel the world and have fun?      i'm a young boy with a lot of things on my mind      love seems to be on my mind   seems to be all the time   this is the way i always end my songs   singing and swinging along   singing and swinging along      love seems to be on my mind   seems to be all the time   this is the way i always end my songs   singing and swinging along   singing and swinging along
