ROXANNE

Sometimes when the chips are down
And I find it hard to carry on
Suddenly in my thoughts I see
What good faith has done for me

I'll be the ones to lift you when you are down
Roxanne, I want you to know
Where ever I go
You're on my mind - all the time
There's no one like my little Roxanne

Her smile is like a breath of spring
She's like a star on silver screen
Her eyes would set a bound heart free
She's everything a girl should be

When her gentle arms caress
Thrills me from my head to my toes
She drives away morning blues
Magic in everything she does

SIDE 'B'
(1) Will You Miss Me
(2) Sweet Talk
(3) Will You Be My Girl
(4) Come To Me
