lyrics

Lyrics: David Franks
Music: Bob Brown

1. Wearing a smile watching the signs
Trying not to cross that borderline
Trying to stay sane taking in the pain
Like being in California praying for the rain

Sometimes I want so much to reach out
Sometimes I'm afraid to let you know
Sometimes we're standing face to face
And I can't let my feelings show
Or you'll go farther away

Chorus:

I'm asking you to come back
I'm not begging on my knees
I love you; you're dear to my heart
I never wanted you to leave

2. It took so long to live together
It was hard for us both to decide
If we'd find a place in the same time and space
For you and I

And we finally made our decision
We found a home we both could share
Was as if the sun wrapped the world in peace
But now I wonder if you still care
