I woke up this morning and I tried to call you, mmm But you weren't there and that put me in despair So I thought that maybe I could lose my mind In the countryside so I went for a ride But I never stopped thinking about you Found myself wishing you were there Just to be with me, feel the breeze Sun didn't smile I didn't care I decided to try just one more time To let you know I really love you so Before I arrived I saw you go away With another guy, a tear filled my eye But I never stopped thinking about you Found myself wishing you were there Just to be with me, feel the breeze Sun didn't smile I didn't care A long time has past since that day I cried Life is fine and I'm doin' fine When I'm at home and I feel all alone Well I think of you, try to get a message through But I never stopped thinking about you Found myself wishing you were there Just to be with me, feel the breeze Sun didn't smile I didn't care
