Donna Summer (1948-2012): On The: Radio (moroder / Summer, 1979) - Lyrics

Now I'm sitting here and I'm wonderingHow I'm gonna get it back to youIt’s a long time since I let you inAnd I think I’ve changed my mindIt was only yesterdayWhen we were on the runYou were the only oneAnd it was love

Someone left a song in the mailboxI told myself I wouldn't scan itBut it's been a long timeAnd I think I've changed my mindIt was only yesterdayWhen we were on the runYou were the only oneAnd it was love Now I'm sitting here and I'm wonderingHow I'm

And you said it had to beIf you only knew the way I feltAnd I heard it on the radioAnd I knew that it was youAnd you said it had to beIf you only knew the way I feltAnd I heard it on the radioAnd I knew that it was you Now I'm sitting here and I'm wonderingHow I'm
