from denver to l.a.
Written by Francis Lai and Hal Sharper Released as a US single in 1970 Issued on "The Games" soundtrack  If I say goodbye it'll grieve you Denver means the whole world to you Girl it breaks me up just to leave you But I got things that I gotta do Got to take my guitar With one break I'm a star Girl I'll love you forever more But today I've got to make my way From Denver to L.A.  Girl I know that you'll make me stay But today I've got to make my way From Denver to L.A.  There's a whole new life to be led there That's the place that I gotta be Guys are making mountains of bread there Reckon it could happen to me  Lots of guys make the grade Just one break and I may And I'll bring it on home.
