lyrics

I hear you're living now on Laker Street
And you're living with a friend
Your aspirations now are all fulfilled
Your broken heart is on the mend

Oh Rebecca
I still have your books and pens
And the ring you gave to me
Oh Rebecca
I still love you just the same
Though you're a million miles from me

I know you're going in the straightest line
And your purpose crystal clear
He'll give you something that I never could
You know I'll always hold you near

Oh Rebecca
I still have your books and pens
And the ring you gave to me
Oh Rebecca
I still love you just the same
Though you're a million miles from me

I walk the roadway in the midnight hour
And when the sun is coming up
And that horizon that I never reached
It changed completely since you left

I know you're flying in the softest air
And there's springtime in your step
It's raining now against my window pane
I wish you all the best and yet

Oh Rebecca
I still have your books and pens
And the ring you gave to me
Oh Rebecca
I still love you just the same
Though you're a million miles from me
