Lyric

[Verse 1]

Didn’t plan to fall tonight

But darlin’, there you stood — just right

The air was still, the lights were low

And I was hopin’ you would show

[Verse 2]

I crossed the floor, my heart unsure

Your eyes were kind, your smile so pure

It’s plain to see you feel it too

But you’re pretendin’ not to swoon

[Chorus]

Oh, I tried not to stare

But you were standin’ right there

When our glances dared to meet

Yes, I tried not to stare

But you were standin’ right there

Tell me, can you read

What’s shining in my eyes for you to see?

[Verse 3]

Could you be my dream come true?

I’ve got a heart that beats for you

Slip a promise in your coat

And take me with you down the road

[Chorus]

Oh, I tried not to stare

But you were standin’ right there

And the moment felt so right

Like a kiss beneath the light

Yes, I tried not to stare

But I was caught in your air

Can’t you see the truth

That my eyes belong to you?

[Bridge]

Now we both know just what’s real

Since the moment I could feel

You better take my hand

You better take my hand
