WE WERE ONCE UPON A PERFECT DAY
AND LIKE A PERFECT WAVE IT ROLLED AWAY
TO ANOTHER DESERT TOWN THE STARS WERE FALLING DOWN
CAUSE EVERY PAINTED PICTURE SAYS YOU’RE GONE
BUT LOVE WARM AND SOFT WILL ALWAYS FIND ITS SONG
ON YOUR PILLOW SO FAR AWAY
I FORGOT THEY CALLED FOR RAIN
ALL THAT WATER RUNNING DOWN THE DRAIN
BUT MY HEARTS STILL GREENER THAN HILLSIDES IN LA
ON A PERFECT DAY
ON A PERFECT DAY
SO I’M BACK HOME NOW
WITH ALL MY MEMORIES
THEY KEEP ME DRY
ON DAYS LIKE THESE
AND I’M BURNING FOR YOU LIKE I DID
WHEN WE WERE YOUNG AND STRONG
BURNING DOWN THE CANYONS
TRUE LOVE ALWAYS FINDS ITS SONG
AND I WROTE THIS ONE FOR YOU TODAY
