Ode To A Would Be Lover

Written and Performed by: Deborah Gibson.

VERSE1:
|
Lay your head down by my side
|
Look that way just one more time
|
And promise me... nothing
|
I know time isn't ours to keep
|
But that doesn't mean I can't watch you sleep
|
Listen to the strength of silence
|
|
VERSE2:
|
There's a sweet sensibility
|
And darling that is enough for me
|
I know you are taken
|
But, do I get to you just a little bit
|
I know I'm as close as I'm gonna get
|
And though my heart is close to breaking
|
|
CHORUS:
|
Oh if you're any kind of man at all
|
You know the woman I am
|
So darling don't be afraid I won't break plans you've made
|
I will be just a friend
|
|
VERSE3:
|
Flowers grow in the month of May
|
And they brighten my every day
|
You're here for me now and I'm laughing
|
And though I crave your soulful kiss
|
I can deal with it as it is
|
Two tall ships passing
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
VERSE4:
|
I don't doubt for a moments time
|
The heart's not a mirror of the mind
|
But think it through anyway
|
And if you wake up a lonely child
|
And want to escape for a little while
|
Come to me and we'll dance out in the rain
|
Friend or lover we can dance out in the rain
|
|
If I said I'm in love with you
|
Tell me what then would you do?
