I stand by a busy street Motion passes by She walks across from me Starlight in her eyes A simple phrase The perfect line I meet her gaze She catches mine How I wish for you to come To my side of the sidewalk If you would take my hand I'd take you to a place Where simpler things are true I spend all my money's worth Trying to get to you I call in the pouring rain From a phone booth This avenue Is a parking lot The lights are red but I I can't stop How I wish for you to come To my side of the sidewalk If you would take my hand I'd take you to a place Where simpler things are true How I wish for you to come To my side of the sidewalk If you would take my hand If you would take my hand If you would take my hand How I wish for you to come To my side of the sidewalk If you would take my hand I'd take you to a place Where simpler things are true
