We tried hard to hold onto You lost your patience and I lost my mind Now you ask me would I go through it If you came back one more time It'll be a cold day in December It'll be a hot day in mid July Or a cool night in late September Before I give our love another try Just as sure as California Has a white Atlantic shore And a lovely eastern sunset I won't want you ooh anymore There will be icebergs in the arctic ocean There will be seashells in the Florida sand And an old heart within me beating Before I ever take you back again
