Hey Chica
by: Kiana BrownThe sea was rollin' in slate gray
I looked at you and I looked away
I was cryin'
Because I was happy
I didn't want you to see
I was afraid of such mystery
And afraid of losing
So afraid of losing
Later on on a balcony
We had a good talk and we felt free
I was comin' to you from far away
Light was dim but you showed me the way
In your arms all I could say was
Hey baby hey baby hey baby hey
My heart was torn I'd made up my mind
I'd keep to myself and just be kind
And need nothing
Just need nothing
Love my folks my kids my friends
And make it on through to the end
No more suffering
Over loving
You get to me like old time religion did
In my heart when I was a kid
You're sweet gospel music to my ears
You know how to ease all my fears
And from my heart to yours all I can say is
Hey baby hey baby hey baby hey
And as we go on through the deal I
I know that we won't always feel
Real wonderful
Life ain't like that
But I want to stay right by your side
Check out the view enjoy the ride
Together
With all our loved ones
I want to plant a little garden with you now
Take care of a piece of the earth somehow
And tend it when we're old and gray and
Try to straighten up and say, well,
I'm so glad to see you today
