Ode To A Would Be Lover Lyrics - Singles - Deborah Gibson

VERSE1: 

Lay your head down by my side 

Look that way just one more time 

And promise me... nothing 

I know time isn't ours to keep 

But that doesn't mean I can't watch you sleep 

Listen to the strength of silence 

VERSE2: 

There's a sweet sensibility 

And darling that is enough for me 

I know you are taken 

But, do I get to you just a little bit 

I know I'm as close as I'm gonna get 

And though my heart is close to breaking 

CHORUS: 

Oh if you're any kind of man at all 

You know the woman I am 

So darling don't be afraid I won't break plans you've made 

I will be just a friend 

VERSE3: 

Flowers grow in the month of May 

And they brighten my every day 

You're here for me now and I'm laughing 

And though I crave your soulful kiss 

I can deal with it as it is 

Two tall ships passing 

CHORUS 

VERSE4: 

I don't doubt for a moments time 

The heart's not a mirror of the mind 

But think it through anyway 

And if you wake up a lonely child 

And want to escape for a little while 

Come to me and we'll dance out in the rain 

Friend or lover we can dance out in the rain 

If I said I'm in love with you 

Tell me what then would you do?
