Lyrics
Darling, I hardly know where to begin writing this letter
There are so many questions I want to ask you
First, I guess I’d just like to know if you’re really happy where you are
But most of all, I just want to know if maybe someday you’ll come back to me
Is there a place in your heart for me
Or am I one more broken piece of your history
Is there a chance that any time
You’ll have a change of heart and tell me that you’re still mine
Is there any place in your future for me
Or is my love for you just like a ship lost at sea
These questions I have asked a hundred times before
You just never answered those a hundred times or more
Should I forget how much I still love you so
Forget the past ’cause it ain’t here no more
Should I just pack up all my bags and go
Get the wind at my back and hit the open road
And just ride baby, ride baby, ride
If I get to California sometime
If I ask you to come would you change your mind
Would you give me just one more chance and then you know
Maybe we could start all over again
I haven’t slept a night now since you’ve been gone
I just lie awake an’ ask myself what went wrong
My world has fell apart my heart aches and cries
I think it would be better if it just up and died
Should I forget how much I still love you so
Forget the past ’cause it ain’t here no more
Should I just pack up all my bags and go
Get the wind at my back and hit the open road
And just ride baby, ride baby, ride
My nights are filled with so many beautiful memories
Of all the times and dreams we shared
And my days, like my heart and my life darling,
My days are so lost, lonely and empty without you
Am I the fool for loving you so much
Is it wrong to want to feel your hands feel your touch
Is there any place in your heart for me
Or is my love for you just like a ship lost at sea
These questions I have asked a hundred times before
You just never answered those a hundred times or more
Should I forget how much I still love you so
Forget the past ’cause it ain’t here no more
Should I just pack up all my bags and go
Get the wind at my back and hit the open road
And just ride baby, ride baby, ride baby, ride
I miss you darling
