Lyrics James Taylor

James Taylor

If I Keep My Heart Out of Sight

If I keep on talking now

I'll only start repeating myself

And all I can say is

I love you

I love you

I love you

I love you

If I slip and tip my hand

I'm certain to scare you away

Then what would I say

I'd be hurting I'm certain

I'd be uncool to let you know that you're the one

The fool who jumped the gun

'Cause I've been advised by other guys

You've left behind

Your goodbyes are somewhat unrefined

But if I play my role just right

Tonight could be my lucky night

And you could be mine

If I present it to you

With a flower in the moonlight

Shiny and new

Well, you couldn't say no tonight

If I keep my heart out of sight

If I play my role just right

Then Tonight could be my lucky night

And you could be mine

If I present it to you

With a flower in the moonlight

Oh, shiny and new

Well, you couldn't say no tonight

If I keep my heart out of sight
