I Wanna Be Where You Are
[Verse 1]
And I wanna be where you are
Hear the babes out in the yard
And the leaves all changing bright
And you're holding me tonight

[Refrain]
And I wanna be where you are
I wanna be where you are

[Verse 2]
That was a silver line
That was some baby talk
If I coulda held my thought
But I wandered in the dark
Hanging on the water fountain
On our way to Crystal Mountain

[Refrain]
And I wanna be where you are
I wanna be where you are

[Verse 3]
Locked out of my pockets
Get me outta hock and undеr soft hands
Summer-dried, old fruit tree
Playing American Bеauty
Her honey hair in the light
Right outside the fences
Promenades of city benches
Everywhere we went in the honey light
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
[Chorus]
And I wanna be where you are
Hear the babes out in the yard
And the leaves all changing bright
And you're holding me tonight

[Refrain]
And I wanna be where you are
I wanna be where you are
I wanna be where you are
I wanna be where you are
I wanna be where you are
