MY HEART KEEPS CALLING YOUR NAME
I still think about you all the time
I can't seem to get you out of my mind!
Sometimes I'll think I'm doing alright
Then my heart calls out your name.
And again, it happens at night
When my mind does the same!

My mind tells me that its no use
Because, in the end, I'm gonna lose!
My heart just won't let go of you
But sometimes, I want the same thing, too!
My lips try to tell you how I feel
But then I realize that my feelings are real!

My arms keep trying to reach out to you
Then I start backing away, realizing the truth.
But there's only one thing I need to say:
I love you in an old-fashioned sort of way!
