Lyrics
COME SEE ME
(When ya gonna come see me)
Music and lyrics by Roger Bolt
I remember last April when the rain had left town,
You told me then I could see you again
If I was still hanging around.
I waited all summer and into the fall.
When I saw you again with your arms around him,
I couldn't find the nerve to give you a call.
(Chorus)
So when ya gonna come see me?
The time passes slow.
Who was it for that you turned out the light?
I'd really like to know.
Could it be me that's spending the night?
I'd really like to know.
I remember when I met you.
I heard a blue bird sing'n his song.
It's been a year since I kissed ya babe.
I got the feeling there's something wrong.
I think I was the one to leave you.
I know I made a major mistake.
Looks like another guys' got your love
And I'm the one with the big heartache.
Chorus;
Scat verse
Chorus out.
