Art: "I imagine most of you know that these are all Paul Simon songs that we're singing. There is, um, amongst the twenty-three or twenty-four songs that Paul has written, there is one that we have never recorded, it's about the only one, and a group called the Cyrkle, uh, beat us to it, recorded it, and sold 890,000 copies of it, called 'Red Rubber Ball.'"
I should have known you'd bid me farewell.
There's a lesson to be learned from this
and I learned it very well
Now I know you're not
the only starfish in the sea.
If I never hear your name again
it's all the same to me.
And I think it's gonna be all right.
Yeah, the worst is over now,
The morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.
You never cared for secrets I'd confide.
For you I'm just an ornament,
Something for your pride.
Always running, never caring,
That's the life you live.
Stolen minutes of your time
were all you had to give.
And I think it's gonna be all right.
Yeah, the worst is over now,
The morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.
The story's in the past with nothing to recall.
I've got my life to live and I
don't need you at all
The roller coaster ride we took is
nearly at an end.
I bought my ticket with my tears,
that's all I'm gonna spend.
And I think it's gonna be all right.
Yeah, the worst is over now,
The morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.
