Lyrics
0:14When I see you on the street
0:18I lose my concentration
0:22Just the thought that we might meet creates anticipation
0:31Won't you look my way once before you go
0:35And my eyes will say what you ought to know
0:39Well I've been thinkin' about you day and night
0:44And I don't know if it'll work out right
0:48But somehow I think that it just might if we try
0:58Faces come and faces go in circular rotation
1:06But something yearns within to grow beyond infatuation
1:15Won't you look my way once before you go
1:19And my eyes will say what you ought to know
1:23Well you've got me standin' deaf and blind
1:27Cause I see love as just a state of mind
1:32And who knows what it is that we might find
1:36If we try
1:42You're walking a different direction from
1:46Most people I've met
1:50You're givin' me signs of affection
1:53I don't usually get
1:58I don't want you to pledge your future
2:02The future's not yours to give
2:07Just stand there a little longer
2:10And let me watch while you live
2:26'Cause when I see you on the street
2:30I lose my concentration
2:35Just the thought that we might meet creates anticipation
2:44Won't you look my way once before you go
2:48And my eyes will say what you ought to know
2:52Well I've been thinking about you day and night
2:56And I don't know if it will work out right
3:00But somehow I think that it just might if we try
3:10Somehow I think that it just might if we try
3:18Yes somehow I think that it just might if we try
When I see you on the street I lose my concentration Just the thought that we might meet creates anticipation Won't you look my way once before you go And my eyes will say what you ought to know Well I've been thinkin' about you day and night And I don't know if it'll work out right But somehow I think that it just might if we try Faces come and faces go in circular rotation But something yearns within to grow beyond infatuation Won't you look my way once before you go And my eyes will say what you ought to know Well you've got me standin' deaf and blind Cause I see love as just a state of mind And who knows what it is that we might find If we try You're walking a different direction from Most people I've met You're givin' me signs of affection I don't usually get I don't want you to pledge your future The future's not yours to give Just stand there a little longer And let me watch while you live 'Cause when I see you on the street I lose my concentration Just the thought that we might meet creates anticipation Won't you look my way once before you go And my eyes will say what you ought to know Well I've been thinking about you day and night And I don't know if it will work out right But somehow I think that it just might if we try Somehow I think that it just might if we try Yes somehow I think that it just might if we try
