Weekend In New England
Jim Nabors · Other Songs - Jim Nabors
I'm back in the city where nothing is clear
But thoughts of me holding you, bringing us near
And tell me, when will our eyes meet?
When can I touch you?
When will this strong yearning end?
And when will I hold you again
Time in New England took me away
To long rocky beaches and you by the bay
We started a story whose end must now wait
And tell me, when will our eyes meet?
When can I touch you?
When will this strong yearning end?
And when will I hold you again
I feel the change comin', I feel the wind blow
I feel brave and daring, I feel my blood flow
With you I could bring out all the love that I have
With you there's a heaven, so earth ain't so bad
And tell me, when will our eyes meet?
When can I touch you?
When will this strong yearning end?
