Another great non-hit, released in the fall of '66 to underwhelming
response.  Note that Rob Grill rerecorded the lead vocal track for the
_Let's Live For Today_ LP.

Verse 2:

Each time you see me
You must be thinking, "here comes a bad scene"
But if you could just be me
Then you'd know what I mean

When I keep hoping it's not over and done [45: yeah  LP: no!]
When I keep trying  to tell you I'm sorry
It's on the tip of my tongue
