"How I Miss Sally Bray" lyrics

"How I Miss Sally Bray"

My hand hovers over a button of self-destruct
It won't let me press down, oh, I wish that it would
I've lost something that was an integral part of me
She lived in a red-brick house in Halewood
She wore a hearing aid that screamed louder than us
I've lost someone that was an integral part of me

"Ignorance is bliss", she preached to me
But how can I ignore someone that makes me so happy?

Oh, Sally, where'd you go?
Oh, Sally, where'd you go?
Sally, where'd you go?

It's not impeccable wit that makes me smile
But it's a shock to the heart that only lasts a short while
And she had something that made me fall to my knees
She had no respect for the rules of Trivial Pursuit
And her temper had never even lit its fuse
Her purple hair and smile were the highlight of my holidays

Ignorance is bliss, she preached to me
But how can I ignore someone that makes me so happy?

Oh, Sally, where'd you go?
Oh, Sally, where'd you go?
Sally, where'd you go?

How I miss, how I miss, oh, how I miss you, Sally Bray
That she taught me a night for all the things I could have said
How I love, how I love, oh, how I love you, Sally Bray
That she taught me a night for all the love I could have gave
How I miss, how I miss, oh, how I miss you, Sally Bray
That she taught me a night for all the things I could have said
How I love, how I love, oh, how I love you, Sally Bray
That she taught me a night for all the love I could have gave
How I miss, how I miss, oh, how I miss you, Sally Bray
That she taught me a night for all the things I could have said
How I love, how I love, oh, how I love you, Sally Bray
That she taught me a night for all the love I could have gave

Oh, Sally
Oh, Sally

Oh, Sally, where'd you go?
Sally, where'd you go?
Sally, where'd you go?
Sally, where'd you go?
