It don't take me but a few minutes to get a message through

I talk to you, you talk to me we talk to one another

If I was twenty-three years old and you were twenty-two

I bet no one would try to run our lives the way they do

take a chance, try romance, be true to one another

If I was in San Diego and you were in Portland, Maine
A7                           D
I'd fly to you lock, stock and board in hail and pouring rain
D                              A7
Over the mountains, through the valleys, coming home to each other

And if you should, in Hollywood, become a movie star
D                           A7
Would you let your heart forget, I loved you and you only
