Intro
Verse 1
Way Back In The Old Days
You Would Watch Cartoons
While Your Mom Poured Her Heart Into Her Measuring Spoons
The Garden Was Green Then, And The Trees Grew Tall
And The Scent Of Vanilla Drifted Through It All
You Used To Wait Until Her Back Was Turned
And You Would Grab The Bottle And You’d Take A Sip
She’d Turn Around And See Your Face And Say
“See, Baby, You Know Better Than This.”
Chorus
‘Cause A Little Goes A Long Way
First It’s Slowly, Then It’s Suddenly
And You Have To Learn The Hard Way
It’s Never As Sweet As You Want It To Be
Verse 2
You Noticed Some Changes
When You Last Went Home
There Was Nothing But Gravel Where The Garden Used To Grow
The Trees Got Diseases And Were All Torn Down
But What Could You Have Saved If You Had Stuck Around?
Sometimes Your Father Can’t Recall Your Name
And He Seems So Much Smaller Than He Used To Be
And You Can See Right Through Your Mother’s Skin
Man, You Really Can’t Go Home Again
Chorus
‘Cause A Little Goes A Long Way
First It’s Slowly, Then It’s Suddenly
And You Have To Learn The Hard Way
It’s Never As Sweet As You Want It To Be
There’s A Map Inside Your Memory
With Vanilla In The Middle Of It
The Beginning And The Ending
It’s Never As Sweet As You Remember It
Verse 3
Some Birds Can Remember Where They Were Born
The Particular Cliff On The Particular Shore
It Stays Like An X Drawn On A Treasure Map
And Wherever They Go, They Always Find Their Way Back
Interlude
Chorus
‘Cause A Little Goes A Long Way
First It’s Slowly, Then It’s Suddenly
And You Have To Learn The Hard Way
It’s Never As Sweet As You Want It To Be
There’s A Map Inside Your Memory
With Vanilla In The Middle Of It
The Beginning And The Ending
(And It’s Never As Sweet As You Remember
But You Never Forget)
Bridge
You Learn It The Hard Way
Can’t Handle Much Of It
Just A Little Bit
It’s Never As Sweet As You Remember It
