I Thought You Were Mine

by Peter Williams   Sep 25, 2005


Walking around at my own pace,
I can't wait 'til I see your face.
Please look at me,
Let me have your attention.
For just one minute,
For just one second.
I haven't felt this way in a long time,
Here I go again caught up in rhyme.
I won't let this pass me by,
This time I won't be shy.
Why am I nervous?
Is there a reason?
I don't know your name,
And you don't know mine,
It's all the same,
And all I ask for is a sign.
For just one minute,
For just one second.
Is this supposed to be hard?
Or is it supposed to be easy?
Why is my stomach...
Starting to feel queasy.
Let's do it.
What do I have to lose?
Let my wit be the only thing I use.
I have no charm,
I have no smile.
I mean you no harm,
At least not for a while.
Butterflies in my stomach,
Tears in my eyes,
This suit and tie is just a disguise.
Every time you walk by,
My heart skips a beat,
I wonder why it makes me feel so complete.
I thought I was pass this,
What was the lesson I was supposed to learn?
That first kiss,
Is still something that I yearn.
Our eyes met,
And I'll never forget,
It was something I can't begin to define.
For just one minute,
For just one second...
I thought you were mine.
