We were once upon a perfect day And like a perfect wave, it rolled away To another desert town The stars were falling down 'Cause every painted picture says you're gone But love, warm and soft, will always find its song On your pillow, so far away I forgot they called for rain All that water running down the drain But my heart's still greener than the hill sides in L.A. On a perfect day On a perfect day ♪ So I'm back home now, with all my memories They keep me dry on days like these And I'm burning for you like I did When we were young and strong Burning down the canyons True love always finds its song And I wrote this one for you today
