back to me

Does your pillow know

that your head is on my shoulder?

The notion seems so stupid

but I wonder anyway.

Do the children in the streets

know they're getting older?

I guess they don't quite get it,

but it keeps happ'nin all the time.

 

I close my eyes

and start to see

everything I've been missing

since I started looking solely to the sun.

I find myself going back to me

and lovin' every minute,

seems so stupid now to leave

just 'cause we ain't happy all the time.

 

When I close my eyes

and we're alone,

do you become invisible?

When you walk away and she walks in,

do I really change at all?

Things keep on a-moving

even though we're sitting.

Trying to do our best

to hold back the tide.

 

I close my eyes

and start to see

everything I've been missing

since I started looking solely to the sun.

I find myself going back to me

and lovin' every minute.

Seems so stupid now to leave

just 'cause we ain't happy all the time.

 

I must be doing right

when I see the same things eyes closed

or open.

Must be heading down a path,

maybe treading toward a light.

Seems I'm always after something,

that's about how life seems to go.

Not enough satisfyin' portions for the

people of the world.

 

I closed my eyes

and began to see

everything I'd been missing

since I started looking solely to the sun

I find myself going back to me

and lovin' every minute

seems so stupid now to leave

just 'cause we ain't happy all the time

 

You can say what you want

I'll still sing my song

I'm on the road to contentment

Don't you tell me that I'm wrong
