Close To You

With your long black hair and your dark brown eyes

I watched you walk in the room

The band was playing some rock'n'roll

Or some forgettable tune

Well my hands were cold but my heart was warm

I knew what I had to do

I made my mind up there and then

To try to get close to you

Close to you and your smile

And the way that you looked for a while

The way that you cared

Close to you and your touch

And the way that I want you so much

The way that I do

Well maybe I’m crazy or maybe I’m just running scared

Well you walked right in and you sat right down

And ordered something with ice

I wandered slowly across the room

You didn’t look at me twice

But I held my breath when you spoke to me

And asked if I wanted to dance

It was a way to get close to you

So I thought that I might take a chance

Close to you and your smile

And the way that you looked for a while

The way that you cared

Close to you and your touch

And the way that I want you so much

The way that I do

Well maybe I’m crazy or maybe I’m just running scared

Well we danced some more and we talked a while

Until the evening was late

Then I took you home and you held my hand

We said good night at the at the gate

But you turned around to invite me in

I didn’t know what to do

Guess I was just too frightened, girl

To try to get close to you

Close to you and your smile

And the way that you looked for a while

The way that you cared

Close to you and your touch

And the way that I want you so much

The way that I do

Well maybe I’m crazy or maybe I’m just running scared
