[Verse]
GAs the evening shadows Emfall
I see a Ampicture on Cyour Emwall
Its a Gman with a languid loEmok
Something you Amtore out Cof a Dbook
and I Cwonder
Would DJames Dean Dsus4love yDou like Emthis?
GAs I hold your heart so close to Emmine
I see a Amhandsome young Cman's outliEmne
Leaning his Gback up against your Emdoor
Flicking his Amashes on Cyour Dfloor
and I Cwonder
Would DJames Dean Dsus4love yDou like Emthis?
[Chorus]
With his Gheart
With his Emlonely heart
In the dGark
In the lEmonely dark
With a little Ctremble in his outlGaw Dhand
A grateful Gpilgrim in the promised Emland
and I Cwonder
Could DJames Dean Dsus4love yDou like this?Em  
[Verse]
As we Gdrive off into the nigEmht
You hold my Amhand so Csoft and Emtight
That cGar as black as Emcoal
I see his Ccigarette's Gburning Dglow
and I Cwonder
Could DJames Dean Dsus4love yDou like thiEms?
[Verse]
To me, lGove is a precious Emthing
Made for a Amhusband and a Cdiamond Emring
For Gdeflected in the window Emglass
I see your Amrebel Cfrom the Dpast
and I Cwonder
Would DJames Dean Dsus4love yDou like tEmhis?
[Chorus]
Wheres's our Glight?
Where's the Emburning light?
Love's lGight.
Oh, love's Emburning light
Like a baby Cbird fallen out of the Dnest
With a Gknife deep Ddown in his Emchest
I Cwonder
[Outro]
Could DJames Dean Dsus4love yDou like tEmhis?
