I probably should have told you   I guess it slipped my mind   We probably should have danced through it   Our love was so divine   We were the best of friends   We were soon to be forever lost   Knew that I would find you   At any waking cost         Chorus   You were my morning dove   You were my inspiration   You were my undying love   Blew away my imagination   It was you         Day by the river the water ran so cool   Bittersweet memories    Were lost by this laughing fool   The trees they were a whispering   They shouted out your name   Laughed until I started to cry   For I the one to blame         Chorus         Out there somewhere there's a highway calling my name   Heading for it the fortune and fame   Heading out to Hollywood, California and Englewood   I'm on my way    I'm on my way         Seems like yesterday I was so alone   Stepped outside and the weather seemed so cold   I tried to reason with her slowly   She talked with one hand and her eyes didn't know me   I'm on my way   I'm on my way         Song goes out to a girl that I once knew   Song goes out to girl I thought I knew   Oh sweet darling darling I loved you
