99 Miles from L.A. (1976) Lyrics by Albert Hammond

When I Need You

0

[Verse 1]
Keeping my eyes on the road
I see you
Keeping my hands on the wheel
I hold you
Ninety-nine miles from L.A. 
I kiss you, I miss you, please be there
[Verse 2]
Passing a white sandy beach
We're sailing
Turning the radio on
We're dancing
Ninety-nine miles from L.A. 
I want you, I need you, please be there
[Bridge]
The windshield is covered with rain
I'm crying
Pressing my foot on the gas
I'm flying
[Verse 3]
Counting the telephone poles
I phone you
Reading the signs on the road
I write you
Ninety-nine miles from L.A. 
We're laughing, we're loving, please be there
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
The windshield is covered with rain
I'm crying
Pressing my foot on the gas
I'm flying
[Verse 3]
Counting the telephone poles
I phone you
Reading the signs on the road
I write you
Ninety-nine miles from L.A. 
We're laughing, we're loving, please be there
[Outro]
Ninety-nine miles from L.A. 
Ninety-nine miles from L.A. 
Ninety-nine miles from L.A. 
Ninety-nine miles from L.A.
