Lyrics
Sounds so silly when I say
I wasn't ready for you to go so far away.
And now I'm scrambling to say...
When will I see you again?
And when I do, will we be strangers, my friend?
What do I do until then?
When will I see you again?
Honestly, it hasn't been that very long, but still, it begins.
And soon, if these days keep zooming like they do,
I'm afraid I won't recall you.
Will they take your crooked smile and make it straight?
If they change your smile I think it's more than I can take.
Will they take the freckles from your pretty face?
If they change your face, I think my poor heart would break.
This is probably me looking at seeds and trying to see trees.
Don't worry, baby. I'll be seeing you.
