featuring Danny Capparella on violin

Let's put on a play
Painted palm trees for the purlieu  
and water so clear 
you’ll hardly believe it’s blue 
And no we won't use real sand 
That’d irritate our sorry skin 
Our cares wash away 
like soft ocean waves 
and we’ll never think this was
too good to be true 
 
Let’s put on a play
We'll fold a fool’s gold city block 
With all the streetlights on 
so that we both feel safe 
entertain and converse, beginning to end 
if I tune out first who do I offend?
so come away
we’ll never say this was 
too good to be true 

Let’s put on a play 
I’ve brought all of me to you
with a smile so fair 
you’ll hardly believe I’m blue

Too Good To Be True
