The orange was the size of a watermelon to me,

Well at least that is my memory.

Through the fallen memories when that angel baby sings,

Oh the little magic that his solo brings,
C G Am
Making up songs and words and singing from the soul,

Oh the stories told,
Gsus4 G
None but him and Jimmy could know.
