Spending my time thinking of you
I just can't seem to get it through.
Everything's o.k. when you're around me
way down deep inside
Givin' way to feelings that surround me.
I saw you standin' there
hopin' that you'd look my way.
A glance
a twinkle in your eye
memories of that rainy day in London town
The way I feel I can't explain
the feeling's going on inside me about you.
Never thought I'd feel this way
day to day it just kept slipping by me.
I saw you standin' there
hopin' that you'd look my way. . . .
