There is a place Where I can go When I feel low When I feel blue And it's my mind And there's no time when I'm alone I think of you And things you do Go 'round my head The things you said Like "I love only you" In my mind there's no sorrow Don't you know that it's so There'll be no sad tomorrow Don't you know that it's so There is a place Where I can go When I feel low When I feel blue And it's my mind And there's no time when I'm alone There's a place
