It happened slow, but when it came it stayed
It's that feelin' in my heart I wish would go away
A gorgeous girl, she even got straight A's
But she held onto a secret, and she felt no shame
Time waits for no one, I don't play no games
No I don't fake a face man I don't waste no days
A gorgeous girl she even got straight A's
But she held onto a secret and she felt no shame
From California down to Santa Fe
South Carolina's where we could have stayed
Now those ideas must be thrown away
No you won't find us there, singin' kumbaya
Maybe it really wasn't meant to be
But I still hoped one day for a little you and me
Who knows someday baby we might meet
And I'll still hold the secrets and I'll make you scream ooohhh
I'll touch those places that I know you like
Then we'll throw on a movie that we both seen twice
I'll kiss your lips, you'll call out my name
Then those tears will start to rush but I'll just walk away
From California down to Santa Fe
South Carolina's where we could have stayed
Now those ideas must be thrown away
No you won't find us there, singin' kumbaya
The brightness of the moon still shines at night
But nothin glistened clearer than your sweet blue eyes
I'd play beside you and I'd see you smile
And I'd know that my job was done right for a while
From California down to Santa Fe
South Carolina's where we could have stayed
Now those ideas must be thrown away
No you won't find us there, singin' kumbaya
