Sonia Stein Every Time Africa Plays Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I always thought
We'd be old ladies together
Looking back at these crazy times
And you always talked
About being a mother
Wanting to get better

[Pre-Chorus]
But you had to do things your way
That always was part of your charm
"I had a beautiful time, now I have to leave"
That's what you wrote
f*ck getting old, yeah
f*ck getting old
[Chorus]
Now I'm sitting here missing your face
And I see you in every sunset
Every time "Africa" plays, you bless the rain
Everything I didn't say
I wish I had said it a 100 times
Every time "Africa" plays I know you're safe
I know you're safe
Every time "Africa" plays I know you're safe

[Verse 2]
No days goes by, that I don't wish we had more time
We could set more rooms on fire
With that beautiful smile
And don't get me started on the way you laugh
It came from some holy place no one could match
If I had to guess, that's where you're at, mmm

[Pre-Chorus] But you had to do things your way
That always was part of your charm
"I had a beautiful time, now I have to leave"
That's what you wrote
f*ck getting old, yeah
f*ck getting old
[Chorus]
Now I'm sitting here missing your face
And I see you in every sunset
Every time "Africa" plays, you bless the rain
Everything I didn't say
I wish I had said it a 100 times
And every time "Africa" plays I know you're safe

[Bridge]
And when the sun came up over the hills of Mexico
Out of the silence blasted Toto on the radio
If I have any doubt that you are watching over me
I just play "Africa" and feel your heart in every beat
Every time "Africa" plays I know you're safe

[Chorus]
Now I'm sitting here missing your face
And I see you in every sunset
Every time "Africa" plays, you bless the rain
Everything I didn't say
I wish I had said it a 100 times
Every time "Africa" plays I know you're safe
