August afternoon
I can picture you
Walking with your father at your side
In the summer heat
California speaks
Softly like she's making up her mind
And now, as I stand beside you I say
Baby, isn't it crazy that we are born only to die?
Oh, believe me, I've been counting my stars
'Cause I will spend my whole life loving you
Through your shining eyes
Sweet like Jeffrey pines
I pretended I could read your thoughts
Now it's just the truth
Seems our hearts have fused
Soldered like the gold your sister brought
And how am I lucky enough to say
Baby, isn't it crazy that we are born only to die?
Oh, believe me, I've been counting my stars
'Cause I will spend my whole life loving you
Loving you
And I say baby, isn't it crazy that we are born only to die?
Oh, believe me, I've been counting my stars
'Cause I will spend my whole life loving you
