Tell Me on a Sunday by Bernadette Peters Lyrics

Don't write a letter when you want to leave
Don't call me at three a.m. from a friend's apartment
I'd like to choose
How I hear the news
Take me to a park that's covered with trees
Tell me on a Sunday, please

Let me down easy, no big song and dance
No long faces, no long looks, no deep conversation
I know the way
We should spend the day
Take me to a zoo that's got chimpanzees
Tell me on a Sunday, please

Don't want to know who's to blame
It won't help knowing
Don't want to fight day and night
Bad enough you're going

Don't leave in silence with no words at all
Don't get drunk and slam the door
That's no way to end this
I know how I want you to say goodbye
Find a circus ring with a flying trapeze
Tell me on a Sunday, please
I don't want to fight day and night
Bad enough you're going
Don't leave in silence with no words at all
Don't get drunk and slam the door
That's no way to end this
I know how I want you to say goodbye

Don't run off in the pouring rain
Don't call me as they call your plane
Take that hurt out of all the pain

Take me to a park that's covered with trees
Tell me on a Sunday, please
