DFunny day, looking for laughter Cand finding it there
DSunny day, braiding wild flowFmers and leaves in my hair
A#Picked up a pencil and wrote "I love you" Amin my finest hand
A#mWanted to send it, buGmt I don't know where FI stand
DTelephone, even the sound of Cyour voice is still new
DAll alone in CaliforniFma and talking to you
A#And feeling too foolish and strange to say tAmhe words that I had planned
A#I guess it's too early, 'Gmcause I don't know wheFre I stand

DCrickets call, courting their ladies iCn star-dappled green
DThickets tall, until the morning Ccomes up like a Fmdream
A#All muted and misty, so drowsy now AmI'll take what sleep I can
A#mI know that I miss yoGmu, but I don't know Dmwhere I Fstand
A#mI know that I miss you, Gmbut I don't know wFhere I stand
