Lost Man in a Foreign Country

[Big Bob]

I learned this song some years ago and had mostly forgotten it. so i took it upon myself to relearn it and figured I ought to document it before i can-aught remember it. this is too good of a song to be lost.

by the way, is this song by Brad or Nathan or a co-write? my guess is Brad.

I can say hello, I can say goodbye
I can say please, I can say I love you
but I can't say:
Babe, did you like the show?
Can I walk you home?
Do you know a quiet bar?
And if you said to me
Embrasse moi, embrasse moi,
I could only smile cause I don't know

I can say yes, I can ask how much
I can say no and thank you
but I can't say:
Girl, are you all alone?
When you go to sleep,
what do you dream?
And if you said to me,
Quand je dors, je reve a toi,
I could only smile cause I don't know...

I can say hello, I can say goodbye
I can say please, I can say I want you
but I can't say:
Babe, do you have to go?
Why don't you stay....
We don't even have to speak...
And if you said to me,
Je serais ici demain,
I could only smile,
I could only smile,
I could only smile cause I don't know
