Lyrics

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
Jessie Gordon, Aug 2007

Sitting in sunshine
Wondering who I love the most
Spending my Sundays
Eating Nutella on toast

Carelessly wasting
Frittering my time away
Put off till tomorrow
What I won?t do today

You can?t build your reputation on
What it is you?re going to do [Henry Ford]
Please be careful what you dream these days
They might just come true

Never let your memories be(come)
Greater than your dreams [Doug Ivester]
Your vision lasts for miles and miles (when you?re)
Standing on the shoulders of giants [Isaac Newton]

I?ve never felt lost but I?ve
Sure been bewildered for days [Daniel Boone]
If I think I can do it
You?ll surely I?ll do it my way [Gandhi]

Life is something that happens
While you?re making other plans
I?ll be looking for help but
The future is in my hands

Talk around the different things to do
You may suspect that I?m in love with you
But happiness ever after
Is something we can?t plan
True love we will never understand

You will find the fragrance stays in the
Hand that gives the rose
Smile well and often, the story goes, you?ll be [Satchel Paige]
Standing on the shoulders of giants

Lead Break

You can?t build your reputation on
What it is you?re going to do
Listen carefully to all I say
Am I getting through

Talk around the different things to do
People say that I?m in love with you
But happiness ever after
Is something you can?t plan
True love we will never understand

Never let your memories be(come)
Greater than your dreams
We believe that we can work it out (when we?re)
Standing on the shoulders of giants

You will find the fragrance stays in the
Hand that gives the rose, (put your) [Hada Bejar]
Heart and soul in any task, then you?ll be
Standing on the shoulders of giants

Standing on the shoulders of giants

Standing on the shoulders of giants

I can see for miles and miles, and miles and miles, and miles and miles.

Standing on the shoulders of giants.
