Lyrics
Overnight Success
c.1969 Glen King & Joe Miller
1st. Verse:
Got by on dreams that barely seemed
To keep alive my hunger,
Was weak for love
I’m not getting any younger,
Spent all my time to look behind
At the long parade of lovers,
No where to turn
Had we failed to find each other:
Chorus:
Loving you was an Overnight Success
O,O,O,
Loving you was my one true happiness,
Riding on the rush of a never ending crest,
It took years of love for love to be
An Overnight, Overnight Success.
2nd. Verse:
One twist of fate opened gates
To feelings that attract us,
A perfect love
From all the years of practice,
I never knew what love could do
Till its' fires raged and stirred us,
Until you came
I just got by living on the surface:
Chorus:
Loving you was an Overnight Success
O,O,O,
Loving you was my one true happiness,
Riding on the rush of a never ending crest,
It took years of love for love to be
An Overnight, Overnight Success.
