Lyrics
I want some answers to my questions
Do you know the way to San Jose?
Can you forgive my indiscretions
and if I said I loved you would you stay?
If I called your name across a noisy street
Would you walk on by the other way?
Why are you so busy we can never meet
And if I said I loved you would you stay?
Why does the sun keep on shining
when my heart grows so cold?
They say that every cloud it has a silver lining
And all I feel is old
If I say a little prayer for you
Could I say it softly every day?
I don't think that's what you want me to do
And if I said I loved you would you stay?
