Lyrics

Sooner or Later
©-2005-Don Martin

put my best foot forward for my debut
my best side to your eyes
ever conscious of your first review
first impression I devised

chose a place where distractions were rare
where the backdrop I?d control
commanding events and who was there
in the spotlight that I stole ? but ?

[chorus]
sooner or later the curtain must fall ?
sooner or later the fog will clear ?
sooner or later it?ll be last call ?
sooner or later ?
you?ll know it all

[instrumental]

display of charm so well rehearsed
an aura as if divine
no restrictions yet feeling coerced
by desire to make you mine

success would extend my masquerade
like ripe grapes left on the vine
the flow of promises cascade
too afraid to confess my designs ? but ?

[chorus]
sooner or later the curtain must fall ?
sooner or later the fog will clear ?
sooner or later it?ll be last call ?
sooner or later ?
you?ll know it all .

[change]
baby I?m trying to show you a halo ?
baby I?m trying to show you I?m able ?
trying to bluff until I know what?s right ?
before I put my cards , on the table ? but ?

[chorus]
sooner or later the curtain must fall ..
sooner or later the fog will clear ..
sooner or later it?ll be last call ..
sooner or later ?
you?ll know it all

yeah , sooner or later ?
you?ll know it all
