Jeff Strickland - Play Along Lyrics

What could go wrong tonight I ask myself
Just her and I and no one else
These things must happen somewhere every day
Somebody somewhere knows what to say

Maybe I won't know how to get it right
Our first time out on a moonlit night

Maybe she'll let me try
She'll let the small stuff by
Watch me say it wrong
Smile and play along
Maybe one day I'll find
This girl can read my mind
Every time I say it wrong
She'll smile and play along

If I knew then what I still don't know now
I still couldn't say how she's here now
Lucky stars or maybe magic power
Still feelin like a weed hangin out with a flower

Things are going well but times not up
Still within my reach to screw this up

Maybe she'll let me try
She'll let the small stuff by
Watch me say it wrong
Smile and play along
Baby I hope I find
You there to read my mind
Every time I say it wrong
You smile and play along

Little awkward birdy
Keeps on givin it a try
Failing and falling
Then it takes to the sky
Won't burn long
Getting shot down in flame
Just get it right once
And never be the same

My baby let's me try
She'll let the small stuff by
Watch me say it wrong
Smiles and plays along
Even after all this time
Forever on my mind
A good chance I'll get it wrong
Please baby play along

And if she says it wrong
I'll smile and play along
