Shelby Park

Waiting on a park bench, where the train tracks meet the river

I give a nervous smile to the passers-by as the cold wind makes me shiver

Then I see you walking over, warm smile and gentle eyes

I stand on my tiptoes to hug you hello, then we pause

Cause somethin feels right

In Shelby Park we walk till it's almost dark

I don't know you but I know I don't want it to end

I thought I'd run out of chances

But the way my heartbeat dances when you hold my hand

I never want it to end

Pink fern round the oak trees as the golden sun is settin

We share our scars in the memories we spent many years forgettin

Then you touch my cheek real softly and your warm lips meet mine

We press close together and I can feel our stories entwine

In Shelby Park we walk till it's almost dark

I don't know you but I know I don't want it to end

I thought I'd run out of chances

But the way my heartbeat dances when you hold my hand

I never want it to end

So many days alone, I'd grown accustomed to the night

But your kiss is the sparrows song and suddenly hope takes flight

In Shelby Park we walk till it's almost dark

I don't know you but I know I don't want it to end

I thought I'd run out of chances

But the way my heartbeat dances when you hold my hand

I never want it to end
