Sometimes I wish I that I could stop the clock turning
And spend the weekend lost inside your eyes
Somehow I wish I could hog the roses burning
Until I can make you mine
From the first time I saw you at that coffee show in Melrose
They were playing Hey Jude and we both sang along
Could have talked forever had a thousand cups of coffee
I hated that my flight was taking off...
And if I had the time, and I could live a different life
And if this plane would fly, over the California Sky
I'd be with you tonight
Oh Oh, I'd be with you tonight
I put my headphones on and went right to the Beatles
Looked out the window saw your face amongst the stars
Didn't ask in London, and I wonder if you'd been here
And if you know you caught my heart
From the first time I saw you at that coffee shop on Melrose
With your skinny black jeans and your long blonde hair
Could have talked forever had a thousand cups os coffee
Instead of being 10, 000 feet above nowhere
And if I had the time, and I could live a different life
And if this plane would fly, over the California Sky
I'd be with you tonight
Oh Oh, I'd be with you tonight
I want to take you up Malibu
I want to hould your hand in Griffith Park
I want to dance with you in Hollywood
