Catch Me

Don't ever think when I don't call you
That it's because I don't want to tell you
Every day that we're okay
That just because I can't find words to say

That I don't think about you every hour
At least ten times, you've got that power
To bring a smile to this sad face
And stretch away the tears sad trace

I'm seldom at a loss for lines
Tongue tied you've got me sometimes
When I close my eyes I can't forget
The way we danced when we first met

The way I glanced your way and saw
The other guy who'd won the draw
My hand was folded with my heart
I looked about for another new start

Restlessly I roamed the room
Squinting blindly in the gloom
Smoky room not good for looking
No wonder I couldn't find a booking

So home alone to quickly forget
Not force something that I'd regret
I'll wait for the moment of magic here
The price for impatience is too dear

The richness of your kind affection
Could give pause for deep reflection
But simple is as simple does
Tomorrow beckons, that night just was

The magic of your sweet caress
The swing of hips in that red dress
The tender touch upon my face
I'm running slow, better give chase

I'm gonna let you catch me now
