people to talk to
Once upon a time
I had a guy like you, and
Once upon a time
I thought you had me too, oh
I didn't see what you'd do to me, oh
I didn't know that you had places to go... and
People to talk to... you had
People to talk to...
Cold September rain
We spent the day in bed
Popcorn and champagne
Your laughter filled my head, oh
Parties every night, front seats every show
No time for second thoughts, 'cause you had places to go… and
People to talk to... you had
People to talk to...
Why did you leave? I'll never know
One random night, you didn't show
At a table for two, just one….
Once upon a time
I loved a guy like you, and
Once upon a time
I thought you loved me too, oh
I didn't see what you'd do to me, oh
I didn't know that you had places to go... and
People to talk to... you had
People to talk to... you had
People to talk to... you had
People to talk to………………….
mayday
I think it was Saturday
Think it was midnight
Think it was the night
I was all alone
Starin' at the ceiling
One of those feelings
Trouble dealing
With the great unknown
Second by second by
Minute by day
Time keeps tickin' boy
Tickin' away
Gotta connect
I gotta get through
So I send this message of distress
To you...
Mayday, mayday, can you hear me?
Mayday, mayday, someone answer
Mayday, mayday, if you hear me
Could you bring this message to him?
Could you bring this message to him?
So I went walkin' out
Late that night
Up and down the street
But nothin' seemed right
I found your number
Lookin' for a sign
I tried to call your cell
A million times
Second by second by
Minute by day
Time keeps tickin' boy
Tickin' away
Gotta get through
Get through to you
Oh there's only one thing
Left to do...
CHORUS
I write your name in the sand
I'm hopin' someday,
Someday my rescue plane will land...
I draw your face in the sky
I'm hopin' someday,
Someday I'll know the reason why
Someday I'll know the reason why...
I shall return
Fly your flags at half mast, please
Oh tell Michael to wait for me
Sleep and let your candles burn
Oh tell Michael I shall return...
I shall return...
The road I take
Is not so straight
So hold on through those turns
Don't be concerned
Michael it's true
I shall return...
Lock the door and hide the key
Oh tell Michael to wait for me
There's nothing our love cannot do
Oh in my dreams I'll sing to you...
I shall return...
The road I take
Is not so straight
So hold on through those turns
Don't be concerned
Michael it's true
I shall return...
