when Carla comes i'll be alright
it's been so long, so far, so wide
so stretched beneath the tropic lights
that shine for now and for all time
i should be glad
how could i be?
when it means everything to me
with Carla comes the falling stars
the silver moon, venus and mars
will she ever know that i'm waiting tonight
just like i've waited all my life?
i could be sad
why should i be?
when she means everything to me
when Carla comes i'll be alright
