lyrics

if we only had today, i know exactly what i’d say
if i wrote it all, it wouldn’t be enough for your love
and if the skies were grey not blue, you’d have to sing to their hearts too
i know your voice could carry all the way, just not today

the weather’s good, the weather’s bad
the weather goes and makes you sad
the summer flowers bursting into bloom are coming soon
‘cause even though sometimes it snows
it’s only to make way, god knows
for better times and places yet to be away from me

let’s just watch the colors fade away
drift into an optimistic state
there’s barely time to breathe and none to hate
we just want to rollerblade someday

while you’re off and on your own and oh so very far from home
if it’s not too much trouble, write to me, please write to me
oh, promise me that you’ll be true, oh darling i’m in love with you
if i could go with you, you know i would

let’s just watch the colors fade away
drift into an optimistic state
there’s barely time to breathe and none to hate
we just want to rollerblade someday

and since the skies are grey not blue, and they’re my only path to you
i guess i’ll have to wait a little while for your smile
