IN TWO YEARS written by Sheldon Manoo (1999)

Oh California, big big city in the U S of A

That’s the place she went to yesterday

She’s going away to study a two year course

But I know no one studies all the time over shores

There’s the beauty of the beach

And all the people she will meet

In two years

And now summer is fading on the California seas

I’m alone here in the dark in my room in the West Indies

And she could be out there walking on the ocean just exploring her home for the next two years

And I don’t even know if she made any friend as yet

She won’t call and a letter won’t reach me tonight

Why did I have to let her out of my sight?

For two years

Oh how deep I miss her

I didn’t even get to kiss her

And I won’t for two years

I know I’ll cry some tears

It’s hard to believe I’d have to go this torment

For two years

When it hasn’t even been a day yet and I’m facing all these fears

I wonder how it will get, if she will change, in two years!

(Music)

I know I’ll love her just the same maybe more

Than I ever did before

But people will keep telling me

I need a substitute till then

But I know I’d prefer to be lonely again

In two years I won’t change at all

I’ll just be waiting here for her with open arms

But I’m scared to know that maybe she would fall

For someone else and be captured by his charms

Cause she never quite really said she loved me

I guess I’ll know

In two years!
