Lyrics

I look at you and I say to myself
"What more could I want if I had you?"
But I wouldn't dare to speak it out loud
I stand and I stare my head in a cloud
I look at you and I say to my heart
"What chance would I have, why let the fire start?"
I long to know the thrill of your sweet embrace
Yet when we're face to face I just look at you
I look at you and I say to my heart
"What chance would I have, why let the fire start?"
I long to know the thrill of your sweet embrace
Yet when we're face to face I just look at you
Written by: J. Mathis, Jean Constantin, Jessie Mae Robinson, Rainey Robinson
