Ode To A Would Be Lover

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?
