I HOPE YOU’LL CHOOSE L.A.
By Douglas Stanglin & Janet Devers


Verse: I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S MORNING
DID WE REALLY TALK ALL NIGHT?
THANK GOD FOR ALL NIGHT DINERS
WHERE COFFEE WITH A STRANGER SEEMS JUST RIGHT

LOOKS LIKE THE SNOW IS LIFTING
GUESS I’LL BE ON MY WAY
IT SURE WAS NICE TO MEET YOU, GIRL
I’M REALLY SORRY I CAN’T STAY.

Chorus: SO PLEASE COME TO CALIFORNIA
IF YOU EVER NEED A FRIEND.
THOSE ARE HARD TO FIND THESE DAYS
AND I’D REALLY LOVE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
IT’S BEEN YEARS SINCE SOMEONE
HAS MADE ME FEEL THIS WAY.
SO IF YOU GIVE UP ON ATLANTA
I HOPE YOU’LL CHOOSE L.A.

Verse: I KNOW THAT MUST SOUND CRAZY
FROM A GUY YOU HARDLY KNOW.
BUT I’D BE EVEN CRAZIER,
TO LET YOU GO.

SO HERE’S MY NAME AND NUMBER
REMEMBER ME IF LIFE GETS TOUGH.
WE’LL TAKE UP THIS CONVERSATION
WHERE WE LEFT OFF.

(Rpt. Chorus)

IT’S BEEN YEARS SINCE SOMEONE
HAS MADE ME FEEL THIS WAY
IF YOU GIVE UP ON ATLANTA
I HOPE YOU’LL CHOOSE L.A.

SO IF YOU GIVE UP ON ATLANTA
I HOPE YOU’LL CHOOSE L.A.
