Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
There's a place in the sun for anyone Who has the will to Chase one and I think I found mine Yes I do believe I have found mine. So, close your eyes And think of someone you physically admire And let me kiss you, oh. Let me kiss you, oh. I zigzagged all over America And I cannot find A safety haven Say, would you let me cry on your shoulder I've heard that you'd try anything twice Close your eyes And think of someone you physically admire And let me kiss you, oh. Let me kiss you, oh. But then you open your eyes And you see someone that you physically despise But my heart is open My heart is open To you
