Edge of Seventeen piano leadsheet with chords

Just like the whitewinged dove sings a song that sounds like she's singin',

"Ooh, ooh, ooh."

Just like the whitewinged dove sings a song that sounds like she's singin',

"Ooh, (baby) ooh,

(said) ooh."

And the days go by like a strand in the wind in the web that is my own.

I begin again.

Said to my friend,

"Baby,

nothin' else mattered."

He was no more

than a baby then.

Well, he seemed brokenhearted,

something within him.

But the moment

that I first laid

eyes on him,

all alone on the edge of

seventeen,

Just like the whitewinged dove sings a song that sounds like she's singin',

"Ooh, (baby) ooh,

(said) ooh."

Just like the whitewinged dove sings a song that sounds like she's singin',

"Ooh, (baby) ooh,

(said) ooh."

Just like the whiteWell, I went today.

Maybe I will go again

tomorrow.

And the music there, well, it was

hauntingly familiar.

When I see you doin' what I try to to for me with the words from a poet and a voice from a choir and a melody,

nothin' else mattered.

Just like the whitewinged dove sings a song that sounds like she's singin',

"Ooh, (baby) ooh,

(said) ooh."

Just like the whitewinged dove sings a song that sounds like she's singin',

"Ooh, (baby) ooh,

(said) ooh."

Just like the whiteThe clouds never expect it

when it rains,

but the sea changes color,

but the sea

does not change.

So with the slow,

graceful glow of age,

I went forth with an ageold desire

to please, on the edge of

seventeen.

Just like the whitewinged dove sings a song that sounds like she's singin',

"Ooh, (baby) ooh,

(said) ooh."

Just like the whitewinged dove sings a song that sounds like she's singin',

"Ooh, (baby) ooh,

(said) ooh."

Just like the whiteWell, then suddenly

there was no one left standin' in the hall,

yeah yeah, in a flood of tears that

no one really ever heard fall at all.

Well, I went searchin' for an answer up the stairs and down the hall,

not to find an answer,

just to hear the call of a nightbird

singin', "Come away.

(Come away.

Come away.)" Just like the whitewinged dove sings a song that sounds like she's singin',

"Ooh, (baby) ooh,

(said) ooh."

Just like the whitewinged dove sings a song that sounds like she's singin',

"Ooh, (baby) ooh,

(said) ooh."

Just like the whiteWell, I hear you

in the mornin' and I hear you

at nightfall.

And sometimes

to be near you

is to be

unable to hear you,

my love.

I'm a few years older than you,

my love.

Just like the whitewinged dove sings a song that sounds like she's singin',

"Ooh, (baby) ooh,

(said) ooh."

Just like the whitewinged dove sings a song that sounds like she's singin',

"Ooh, (baby) ooh,

(said) ooh."

Just like the white"Ooh."
