If you really knew how many times I've tried to help you

Make your mind up in the matters of the heart, you'd not be bothered

By the miscues or the bad trips that seem to come and plague us

Having thought it over, I sure would like to talk to you again



I was stone cold sober, it was daylight in October

When you reached across the table put your hand upon my shoulder

And my lips were warm with kissing while we found the missing pieces

To all the empty spaces I sure would like to talk that way again



We have soared above the clouds, we've heard the angels breathing

While we made love in the morning, there was never talk of leaving

We would lie that way for hours with our arms around each other

It was all so easy, I sure would like to talk to you again



'Cause I'm stone cold sober, the daylight has crossed over

In the night, a touch of sadness

We had it coming, had it going way back then



I was stone cold sober when I woke the morning after

Having shattered the illusions of the object of my passions

With a will made out of iron and a mind that is her own

Having thought it over, I sure would like to talk to her again

We had it coming, had it going way back then



I hope that we can see each other often

That our points of view will blend into each other,

Like the sea and the horizon

And the sun will shine upon us as we live our lives forever

Having thought it over, I sure would like to talk to you again
