[E] [A] .
When I see you on the street I [E] lose my [A] concentration .
Just the thought that we might meet creates anticipation .
Won't [Em] you look my way [D] once before you go.
[G] And my eyes will say [Bm] what you ought to know.
Well I've been [Am] thinking about you [C] day [D] and night.
And [Am] I don't know if it'll work [D] out right.
But somehow [Am] I think that it [D] just might.
If we [G] try.

[A] Faces come and faces go in circular rotation .
But something yearns within to grow beyond infatuation .
Won't [Em] you look my way once [D] before you go.
[G] And my eyes will say what [Bm] you ought to know.
[Am] Well you've got me standing deaf [D] and blind.

And who [Am] knows what it is that we [D] might find.

[Am] You're giving me [D] signs of affection [Am] I don't [D] usually get .
[Em] I don't want you [Bm] to flinch your future.

And let [Am] me watch [F] while you [E] live.
