THE LIST
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded Gordon Lightfoot 1973


There's a little room on my list for tonight
Will you be the one to fill it in
Toss around what is up, what is down
In between, would you like to dream
Step on in, you don't have to play to win
But then you might.

There's a little song on my list for tonight
Would you like to try and make it rhyme
Sing and sway, if your heart feels that way
You can leave the blues behind.

There's a little lovin' on my list tonight
With a bit of luck, I'll check it off
Toss around what is up, what is down
In between, do you know what I mean.

Rain, rain all day long
You made it pay, you can do no wrong tonight
Pick and grin, you don't have to play to win
But then you might.
Thick and thin, you don't have to play to win
But then you might.

In between, would you like to dream
Step on in, you don't have to play to win
But then you might.
Thick and thin, you don't have to play to win
But then you might.
