Original Songs by Kent Newsome

The Blink of Julia's Eye


I drove by her house today
Her father was in the front yard
I don't think he recognized me
I don't think he knows my car

He used to make her come home early
Not one second after midnight
She tried to be my Cinderella
But glass slipper was a bit too tight

I wonder how she's doing
Haven't seen her in a while
Heard she got herself a husband
And I heard she had a child

Chorus:
Clock strikes midnight
I better go inside
Will you call me tomorrow
Morning
Didn't the years fly by
17 turned into 35
In the blink of Julia's eye
The blink of Julia's eye

I wonder if she ever got that degree
Maybe she settled for an M.R.S.
I don't remember why we lost touch
Some things feel too good to last

I remember the last time I saw her
Christmas party at that same house
She sat on the couch and looked at me
Wish I'd known then what I know now

Chorus:
Clock strikes midnight
I better go inside
Will you call me tomorrow
Morning
Didn't the years fly by
17 turned into 35
In the blink of Julia's eye
The blink of Julia's eye

I drove by her house today
Her father was in the front yard
I don't think he recognized me
I don't think he knows my car
