|
I saw her once before; she didn't turn me on. |
|
One night she stopped to talk to pass the time. |
|
And then I saw her eyes; her softly smiling glow, |
|
We sat and talked all night at Byblos. |
|
She talked of feelings that I knew were true. |
|
She painted me a picture using ev'ry shade of blue |
|
It was light with laughter, At times it made me cry, |
|
And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her; |
|
to squeeze her; to kiss her all night long, I never tried to pleaseher. |
|
Then, soon she had to go; |
|
I sat there all alone |
|
And thought of things she said |
|
The whole day through. |
|
And then I realized, |
|
I never took the time |
|
To find out where she lived |
|
Or where to call. |
|
I thought that I would see |
|
Her the next night, |
|
Anticipating how I'd set myself right. |
|
Then, I went back to Byblos; |
|
I sat there and waited, |
|
Feeling just a little nervous |
|
And a little frustrated. |
|
Then, soon, in she came,looking just the same |
|
Oo, I could hardly wait to take her far from the game. |
|
Then a person came in to the club |
|
that I had to speak to |
|
I explained the situation to her |
|
And i thought she understood |
|
But I guess she thought I was jiving her around |
|
Cause when I looked for her, this is what I found |
|
She was rapping with a real good friend of mine, |
|
He was happening, I guess it was his time. |
|
I really couldn't blame him, cause he was sad and lonely too. |
|
But just talking to her did me so much good, I knew she'd do him good too. |
|
Then I went home and I got it on, |
|
Sat down to write these words when I was finally alone. |
|
And then, about halfway through I wondered if someone knew |
|
where she was, so I could give her a call, |
|
And I found out that she was right down the hall, |
|
Not too far away, |
|
but that's ok, I'll just wait for the day when I can see |
|
her again and spend some time. |
