Play that song about the Statue of Jesus  

We used to play when we were kids  

Down in the basement 

On Giblin Street  


About the man who’s lonely and cold

He’s got crosses to bear 

I’ll sing the high harmony 

And you’ll always be there 


CHORUS 

It keeps gettin’ better every time I hear you sing

It keeps gettin’ better every time my phone rings, and you say

Let’s get together next time you’re in town

You know I’ll always come around 


There’s somethin’ bout time and place 

And what two guitars bring 

And how two voices 

Learn so much when they sing


It’s a language all its own

An unspoken word 

A place where we can go 

Where we’ll always be heard   


CHORUS   

It keeps gettin’ better every time I hear you sing

It keeps gettin’ better every time my phone rings, and you say

Let’s do some pickin' next time you’re in town

You know I’ll always come around
