Like a Moth to a Flame...
Like a moth to a flame
my heart keeps calling your name
I lay myself to sleep
and pray to the Lord this secret He'll keep
I should be brave
and tell you what I crave
I need your soul to help feed mine
I need to look you in the eye one more time
I've seen those baby blues stare into mine
and at that moment I felt sublime
My heart was jumping through my chest
and when you walked away I felt it more rather than less
My heart can't take this push and pull
I know I should tell you, but I'd feel like such a fool
I don't want to lose what we have
But I should take this chance and be glad
I'm glad to have even known your face
and to be allowed to walk in your grace
Your smiles and jokes turn my heart aflutter
and I don't dare let my heart go to another
I don't know what kind of spell you've spun
but it's my heart that you've won
little do you know the power you hold over me
like the tide has over the sea
my dreams and hopes are filled with thoughts of you
and I wonder if this makes you laugh-like I do
How can someone care so much
About someone they long to touch
How can this be when they are strangers
who dance the dance and then fall into anger
their love turns to hate
and I'm wondering will that be our fate?
You make my heart dance
when you give me that sideways glance
what can I say I'm like a moth to a flame
and my heart keeps calling your name...
