Funny day, looking for laughter and finding it there
D                            Fm
Sunny day, braiding wild flowers and leaves in my hair
A#                                       Am
Picked up a pencil and wrote "I love you" in my finest hand
A#m                  Gm                  F
Wanted to send it, but I don't know where I stand

D                           C
Telephone, even the sound of your voice is still new
D                     Fm        
All alone in California and talking to you
A#                                          Am
And feeling too foolish and strange to say the words that I had planned
A#                       Gm                    F
I guess it's too early, 'cause I don't know where I stand

D                                     C
Crickets call, courting their ladies in star-dappled green
D                                C              Fm
Thickets tall, until the morning comes up like a dream
A#                                 Am
All muted and misty, so drowsy now I'll take what sleep I can
A#m                  Gm                 Dm      F
I know that I miss you, but I don't know where I stand
A#m                     Gm                F
I know that I miss you, but I don't know where I stand
