Private Conversation Lyrics - Lovett Lyle

And his hand it fell behind her 

As his arm it reached around 

And she looked at the window 

And she watched the shade go down 

It was a private conversation 

No one heard her say 

That man she left behind her 

Was two thousand miles away 

Singing boy pick up that fiddle 

And play that steel guitar 

And find yourself a lady 

And dance right where you are 

There was a lonely girl from nowhere 

With a smile all sweet with pain 

And she never stopped to wonder 

If she'd see him again 

It was a private conversation 

No one heard her say 

That man that she was looking for 

Was only twenty streets away 

Singing boy pick up that fiddle 

And play that steel guitar 

And find yourself a lady 

And dance right where you are 

And the band it just kept playing 

As she came walking in 

And he never stopped to wonder 

If he'd see her again 

It was a private conversation 

No one heard him say 

That girl he left behind him 

Was two thousand miles away 

He just sang boy pick up that fiddle 

And play that steel guitar 

And find yourself a lady 

And dance right where you are 

And the moral of this story 

Is I guess it's easier said than done 

To look at what you've been through 

And to see what you've become 

It's a private conversation 

No one hears you say 

It's a private conversation 

And his hand it fell behind her 

As his arm it reached around 

And she looked at the window 

And she watched the shade go down 

It was a private conversation 

No one heard her say 

It was a private conversation 

No one heard him say 

It was a private conversation 

No one heard her say 

It was a private conversation
