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
