May 2003
I’m amazed how she gently moves me,
How she knows instinctively,
Where I am, and where I should be.
But in her arms - that’s just a dream.
Oh, how can I stay in my place,
Resist those eyes, those lips, that face.
And when I glimpse her smile at me,
I bite my lip and let it be.
Reminding me of where I stand
A diamond band defends her hand.
A younger man, both broad and tanned,
has claimed her lover’s soul. Damn!
Oh, how can I stay in my place,
Resist those eyes, those lips, that face.
And when I glimpse her smile at me,
I bite my lip and let it be.
I’d like to help her if she fell
but I can’t catch those stars so well.
So I’ll stay her and watch her shine,
Imagining if she were mine.
But I must stay in my place,
Resist those eyes, those lips, that face.
And when I glimpse her smile at me,
I bite my lip and let it be.
