lyrics

Bang Bang
(Words and music by Sonny Bono)

Verse 1:
I was five and you were six
We rode on horses made of sticks
You wore black and I wore white
You would always win the fight

Chorus:
Bang bang you shot me down
Bang bang I hit the ground
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang...my baby shot me down

Verse 2:
Seasons came and changed the time
I grew up and called you mine
You would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

You were always young at heart
You would say we'd never part
I would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play ?

Verse 3:
Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang
After echoes from a gun
We both vowed that we'd be one
Now you're gone I don't know why
Sometimes I even cry
You didn't even say goodbye
You didn't take the time to lie

Repeat Chorus

Repeat Bridge

Repeat Verse 3

Repeat Chorus
