A Blessing and a Curse Lyrics by Harry Connick, Jr.

Blue Light, Red Light

1991

[Verse 1]
I forget what happens on the Fourth of July
Or when the rent is due
Dates and deadlines just float by
But I always remember you
[Verse 2]
What Columbus set out to discover
Isabelle already knew
There'll be horizons and skylines and other lovers
But I always remember you
[Bridge]
If I could rearrange history
And give it to you as a gift
There would be one more movement
In Beethoven's Fifth
[Verse 3]
Why, oh why, in a land of plenty
Some just have to make due?
At the end of a breadline with just a penny
I'll always remember you
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
If I could rearrange history
And give it to you as a gift
There would be one more movement
In Beethoven's Fifth
[Verse 3]
Tell me why, oh why, in a land of plenty
Some just have to make due?
At the end of a breadline with just a penny
I'll always remember you
