I see you every night sitting alone, in the shadows my senses have evolved and grown
Your finger in your drink, stirring my emotions my heart does sink
Tasting my lips with the droplets of brandy
Closing my eyes, your mouth as sweet as candy
I play my set, rising from the stool
Trying not to trip on the cord, playing it cool
In the dark your eyes I cannot avoid
Not being able to navigate through the crowd, I become annoyed
Too many faces tracing my look, reading my expressions as if I were a book
Rising to the tips of my toes just to see your pretty little nose
Those that are aware, not wanting my intentions for those wanting me to share
The anticipation hoping I don't see you leave
I feel my heart on my sleeve, knowing you already have the ability to read
Our eyes rise together after a song made just for you
Every time I sing to you feels like our meetings were new
Two hearts sing out to each other, sending vibes they both are aflutter
The emotion we both know is there, our mind telling us both to beware
To break your heart the furthest away I want that to be
Intentions and Promises looking up at you on bended knee
What ifs come to mind the future and fate I ponder
Wanting a life and family with you, my mind tends to wander
A trist or afair is for the weak of heart, knowing a woman like you can tear my soul apart
Holding your hand on the park bench a distant futures dream
Looking back on our fantasy, together was a success it would seem
