Little League Baseball and Softball (officially, Little League Baseball, Incorporated) is a non-profit organization in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania, United States which organizes local youth baseball and softball leagues throughout the U.S. and the rest of the world.
Founded by Carl Stotz in 1939 as a three-team league in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, Little League Baseball encourages local volunteers to organize and operate Little League programs that are annually chartered through Little League International. Each league can structure itself to best serve the children in the area in which the league operates. Several specific divisions of Little League baseball and softball are available to children ages 5 to 18. The organization holds a congressional charter under Title 36 of the United States Code.
The organization's administrative office is located in South Williamsport. The first Little League Baseball World Series was played in Williamsport in 1947. The Little League International Complex hosts the annual Little League Baseball World Series at Howard J. Lamade Stadium and Little League Volunteer Stadium, and is also the site of the Peter J. McGovern Little League Museum, which provides a history of Little League Baseball and Softball through interactive exhibits for children.
Its hard to say, but I want to stay a while, make you smile...as lonely goes. And its hard to say but I know, that its been awhile since you've smiled...and so it goes. Its hard to reach the point, when the one you have next to you is the one you want there forever. And since you left, I see your face, at the most awkward times and its all I know. 7 years with you. 7 dreams come true. And my life without you? Is life without you. Come on, won't you stay awhile and watch me put my foot in my mouth? Come on...and when you say you don't know? I cut my throat out.
Ever wait a minute, look down and its been a year? Ever had a friend that said, it looks like rain again? Ever see a spark, that asked you where to begin? Start it slow? Well, I won't. Just say anything...is this over? Because I've said everything before I get one more good-bye...before I get one more goodnight...and its over. Now...I'm moving closer to that dream of mine. I do it all because I'll never be content in my life. I wanna see the world. Have it all. Just say anything...is this over? Because I've said everything before I get one more good-bye...before I get one more goodnight...and its over.
I try and try, to get on without you...and without you...and without you. I miss you. This is my same old song about the girl, who lights my world. This is the last time I fall for anyone but you. If I let my heart go...and your not here, someone else takes it...breaks it. I think its because of the fear, the fear that your so far from near, maybe next time I'll think of you and me...the way things are meant to be.
Philadelphia's not the same without you in it. And Counting seems irrelevant if its done the right way. So don't you turn you're back on it. Don't you turn around for me. I'll see you in the end of the story changing, on our past erasing so you should know. That if I thought that we would change I wouldn't care enough to wait. It comforts me that you're the same. You'll always go, and you come back. There's nothing more that I respect than a simple smile and a simple wave. So take on everything. Single and touching. Find a word to sing, to remind you of someone you turned to... you'd miss us less if we were already here. The sun will set and you will fly away we'll have a drink sit back and watch our tattoos fade and wither.
Beware the fortunes of talking of love today. If you hand me a heart I'll kindly push it away. Break the way I see your face, I hate the way you jump in place to the rhythm of that phony shit you are. Seen it through my eyes before I got up, that I would have to see you once again and you would fake to the crowd since you only know how to pretend, I can't win. In again,you see I can't forget you now, and the face you'll make when you're caught in cover up. You say the wrong things. I can't stand the way you talk when I'm near. This is the right way to tell you that I want to see you running through a door again, and again, and again. When it comes to you I won't regret the things I said and the chance to forget you again, and again, and again.
I can honestly say I felt you. I had givin' up on you, waiting for so long. Assuming you would never come. I tripped over you once before. And my timing was nothing more than horrible and now that I found you if I can just hold on. Please wait, I'm wrong. Have I put this onto you? I'm asking stupid questions that you don't have to answer to. But you wait. And you look. I guess I'm just scared to lose the smell that fills my room so beautifully. So I spent the day just thinking about you. And all the things you said to keep me from, pounding through my bed. It wasn't hard to see. It wasn't hard to realize. That you love me for me. And that you will always be. Please wait. I was wrong to put this onto you. I'll keep my eyes wide open. And leave my walls alone. And you wait and you say... You can't be scared to lose 'cause you know the way you need me is the way I need you.The way you need me is the way I need you...scared to lose. Life feels so out of tune, I wish I could reach in my pocket and pull out a piece I broke off of you.
I don't blame anyone. Everything is fine now. But I, understand her pain, understand her anger, and those bitter days. Find me in my corner...hiding. saying, please don't make her cry...any more tonight. Because she loves him. But she falls again. Can't take the pain. Running away. Can't take the pain. Running away....and now I know why... You called my name, I said before...that I never thought that I could learn so much about the one who made me the man I am today. And I called your name, you said before...go out boy and make me proud, I'm proud of the ones I love. You always did your best to keep a smile on my face.
Today I see things in black and white, seems the closer I get, the farther away it brings. Maybe I don't deserve it....or maybe its meant to be. But I'm running out of standing room and my eyes are getting tired...so I'll try to find a way to stop your tears. A tired dawn. I blink my eyes eight hundred times, just to get a glimpse of you.
Even though this friendship has lasted forever it seems that I found a way not to make it work the same. And I know... If I see you running toward that sky they painted blue for you , I'd dust me off, strap on my shoes and curse home as we flew. What I have said did not take long, I'm sorry for doing you wrong.
What's with this place? And what's with the common day? This city is sometimes wretched. Will I waste away? Or take off for a dream? I hurt, this work, makes me tired of her, and her rotation. I'll make the river eat her up if the rain doesn't get here first. My hands are torn as the day before and sometimes I break. I can dream of a day that I won't do this anymore. It's hard to see but we're breaking up and all we need right now is to let go. And just sing the the words to a song we know until we find the street to home. And I let go.
Sometimes I have to remind myself about giving up. And so the things that drive me, they keep me up. I have to keep my eyes glued open because I could sleep on a floor of answers and still be asking questions. Please take my words and we'll take the world. I've found the ones who I can trust. I've always taken your hand. For you I'd cut mine off. Just count on us when tomorrow's gone. Sometimes I have to remind myself about showing off. Because that's the way you fall when you're not paying attention. I'll find myself face down on the same floor reading all the answers But could I still be asking questions? Let's put this back together. I feel it's been forever. I'm taken back by the way you run. Taken back by the way your strong. I'm taken back by it all.
Hey Coffee Eyes,
You got me coughin' up my cookie heart
Makin' promises to myself
Promises like seeds of everything I could be
Hey, Ringwald Haze
We're usin' bruises too loosely
In a haste to lose me
And I've given all I could give
We live in quick flips, slips, tips, and taps
To snap us outta these statue traps
And I've taken all I could take
Hey, Ringwald Haze
We're usin' Judo like Bruce Lee
In a haste to bruise me
And I've given all I could give,
I've taken all I could take,
I've pushed all I could push,
I've pulled all I could pull
Thin kids get a skinny neck hex
Heads hang heavy
Thin kids get a skinny neck hex
Heads hang heavy
Thin kids get a skinny neck hex
Heads hang heavy
Kitty Kitty Cat, Kitty Kitty Cat,
I'm feelin' heavy
Museum Mouth, Museum Mouth,
Ninety-eight degrees and I called out to you, to come sit by my side. All sweat and no rain makes one hell of a day for promises. you said to me that day...Never let me down, and I'll never let you down. now I'm sittin back and thinking about the time we spit out of our heads....our plans to include ourselves in our blueprints of our future...lives will share...together always, been this long what's a few more, decadent years of being a best friend with you...and I'll take that with me to the grave and back. Together forever.
I know your not here...but we have to talk. Just listen. I saw the smile on your face. I saw the way you hid your pain. But...to end it this way? I'm so hurt that your gone, but you were wrong. To end it this way. To say there's no way, for you to go on. All that you gave me. Without you there would be no us. All that you gave me. Now I'm just left to be me. All that you gave me. I'll try not to let us down. I know you think no one cared. Its the last thing you said to me.
Wait a second I'm not through wasting my time away with you. Because there's nothing in this world I'd rather do than sit back and drift away, and feel it seem like yesterday. When being kids and fuckin up felt OK and every thing we did was wrong but we did it anyway. My dear friends...how its been. Never thought I'd see the day. And so we go our own way. Can we walk?...this floor is hurting my knees. We'll get lost and talk of better days. Broken glass...climb...scratch the trees. No better way to say our names. Until we crawl against it all, we fight, we fall, so proud so small. And now I know how much we've grown and how much you've meant to me. And I ask...why me? Lucky, my luck seems to be. You and me..we will be. Forever. My earth, my wings...my sea.
Sitting on the edge of my bed, just got up to hold my head in my hands. If I look back I just might wake you up and tell you just how good you look in your sleep. And I remember what you said...you said you say it in your head. My chest was beating...beating red. It can only get better from here. Swallow down all our fears. Show them what we have inside.. because finding you was just a part of life. You look right through my eyes... This blue room is heaven to me. And my chest, still beating red.
