Lyrics

Mak in’ my way down town, walk in’ fast, fac es pass and I’m home bound.

Star in’ blank ly a head, just mak in’ my way, mak in’ a way through the crowd.

And I need you,

And I miss you,

and now I won

der… If I could fall

in to the sky,

do you think time

would pass me by?

’Cause you know I’d walk a thou sand miles if I could just see you.

If I could fall

in to the sky,

do you think time

would pass me by?

’Cause you know I’d walk a thou sand miles if I could just see you.

If I could just hold you

to night.
