5 O'Clock In L.A.

(album: Peter Allen - 1971)

I'd call you right now
If I thought you'd answer your phone
But I'll let you keep on sleeping on alone

I have everything planned to say to you
And the city even looks clean and new
'Cause I dreamed last night
Exactly what I should say
But it's only 5 o'clock in L.A.

I would start off and say
I hope you're fine
And make you confess you still are mine
I'd convince you you were wrong to go far away
But it's only 5 o'clock in L.A.

I'd call you right now
If I thought you'd answer you phone
But I'll let you keep on sleeping on alone

I could tell you right now
How much I've changed
And the reasons that made me act so strange
We'll both look back and laugh about them someday
But today is still last night in L.A.

How we'll both look back and laugh about them someday
But today is still last night in L.A.
