Funny day, looking for laughter and finding it there

Sunny day, braiding wild flowers and leaves in my hair

Picked up a pencil and wrote "I love you" in my finest hand

Wanted to send it but I don't know where I stand
Telephone, even the sound of your voice is still new
All alone, in California and talking to you
And feeling too foolish and strange to say the words that I had planned
I guess it's too early, cos I don't know where I stand

Do do do do do doooo do do do do do do do do do do do
Crickets call, courting their ladies in stardappled green
Thickets tall, until the morning comes up like a dream
All muted and misty, so drowsy now, I'll take what sleep I can
I know that I miss you but I don't know where I stand
Cmadd4 Amadd4 G C9 G
I know that I miss you but I don't know where I stand
