About the Artist
Lyrics
Dreamin', that you are in my world Wishin', like a little girl Watchin', closely, you suddenly appear Like a dream, you're gone, then you're here You take to emotion like a bird to flight You drop an invitation, maybe I just might Be your lover, or better, a friendly, aquaintance Truly as I duly pay my love to you like maintenance (Calico) (Calico, calico, calico) (Calico, calico, calico, calico) You're realistic, your face conceal Accentuate the passion I will reveal You're like an angel that delights with the day I'm pleadin', don't ever go away Story's reaching peak, the outlook is bleak Please talk, say that you'll speak You're strong and I am weak I need, the fortune at the end of the rainbow I see you like a lantern, you have a certain glow (Calico) Your smile is warm soft, forever, appealing Whenever you are present like a letter I am sealing My love, like a dove, that blesses from above The shower in an hour won't you let me be your towel? (Calico) Affection, affects you like a weapon You're extreme and supreme, and nothing that you seem A fateful chance, with a twist of hope I'll be with you all the way, down the magical slope (Calico, calico, calico, calico) (Calico, calico, calico, calico) (Calico, calico, calico, calico) Babe, don't be afraid, I'm wit' you everywhere Gliding through enchanted waters, to you I swear Expression is the key, it's good enough for me Cali can't you see, forever yours? There's a feeling, of warmth, a serious, sensation It's true, you have that, good vibration Your charm is overwhelming, you have reaches that I seldom see Calico just let me be the one! (Calico, calico, calico, calico) (Calico, calico, calico, calico) (Calico, calico, calico, calico) (Calico, calico, calico, calico) Calico I see, that we were meant to be Goin' in? I never take of my hat except when I'm out of doors! She made a prize from Jenkins' ear, and washed it down with a bottle of beer
