They say, "hitch your wagon to a star"

You were walking on the sidewalk as I pulled over in my car

I happen to see you in the sunshine again

Since stars are to planets what woman are to men

Paula, I need you like the Earth needs the Sun

For me, you're the perfect one

I roll down the window, "Paula" is what I say

You recognize me, then you walk away

That day back in May of 1985, I still think about you and that's no jive

Because my memory of you just won't fade

You inspired me through college and I received a good grade

I guess I'm doing fine, hard work is easy because you're on my mind

I wish that I could see or talk to you today or over the summer

Because not knowing how to reach you is really a bummer

You were so bright and spoke with such a sweet voice

I'd love to see you if I only had the choice
