I never thought the time would come When I would want to have someoneTo take your place and love me while you're goneI promised I would stay with you And that's just what I want to doBut a woman can't spend this much time aloneThere'll always be just one more hill you have to climbI know you will, and I would never try to change your wayBut just this once, let's think of me And try to listen honestlyThere's something on my mind I've got to sayWhile you're out there riding rainbows Well, I get awful lonely on the groundSo I was thinking maybe We could have a little babyThat I could love when you're not aroundNot aroundSometimes my heart's an empty place And I need love to fill that spaceThose lonely nights, a smile could get me throughEach time I'd see that silly grin A smaller image of your chinI'd be condemned to hold on to youI've got a part of you While you're out there riding rainbowsWell, I get awful lonely on the ground And so I was thinking maybeSometimes my heart's an empty place And I need love to fill that spaceNot aroundNot arounda ridea ridea ride
