Loving You (July of ’69)
Jacky Dustin/Woitek Krupka/Jeff Pardo

I could have been there with the astronauts
In July of ’69
In the rocket that was speeding past the blue
I might have been the one to say some words
About a leap for all mankind
As I set my feet down upon the moon 
But I’d be lonely walking up there with out you
With out you

I could have been there when Tom Edison
Finally flipped that switch
And changed the world with glass and carbon wire
Leading to that street in Vegas
Burning up the desert sky  
Bright as day in the middle of the night
But there’s no light that holds a candle to your smile
To your smile

I could have stood in San Francisco
When the earth began to quake
But there is nothing like your tears my love
That can make my whole world shake

Maybe I will live to see the day
When we finally learn from our mistakes
Lay down our guns and start waging peace
Maybe I’ll hear the news that cancer’s cured
Be there when Jesus returns
Or even watch the Cubs win the World Series
But your love that’s the greatest miracle to me
To me

I could have stood in San Francisco
When the earth began to quake
But there is nothing like your tears my love
That can make my whole world shake

I could have been there with the astronauts
In July of ’69
In the rocket that was speeding past the blue
But who needs walking on the moon
I’ve got better things to do
‘Cause nothing can compare with loving you
No, nothing can compare with loving you
With loving you
