Left the light on the in the porch
Lit a candle in our room
Been a long time since I've seen your face,
And the smile that lit the rooms
Since you left me here that day, I long to hold you again someday!
Til' then I sit and wait in East LA!
It's a long way to East LA, since you left me here that day
I can't wait to see your smile again...
And if you've gone and lost your way, you'll be mine again someday
But for now I sit and wait, cuz it's long, long way back to East LA
Days are long and nights are cold; I miss the warmth of your embrace
Will I ever hear you laugh again, or see your beautiful face?
Since you left me here that day, I long to hold you again someday!
Til' then I sit and wait in East LA!
It's a long way to East LA, since you left me here that day
I can't wait to see your smile again...
And if you've gone and lost your way, you'll be mine again someday
But for now I sit and wait, cuz it's long, long way back to East LA
Solo
It's a long way to East LA, since you left me here that day
I can't wait to hold you once again...
And since you left our love that day, I long to hold you again someday
My love for you still strong today, when you come home.to East LA
