ll see you again Lord knows that someday I should it?s a strange old feeling, these passing lane blues but it?s nothing I ain?t never felt before. you nailed
The stars came out of disguise and the rain was hidden by the tears in your eyes and falling back is hard to do when it?s falling back in love with you
