Something Stupid

The night is warm and the hour is late. I feel the ticking clock and realize the sand of time slipping through.....

How at times this life with all that heady rush of being sane and wise, seems too short to do what actually could add a meaning to this entire existance. How one would cherish that sweet wonder of doing something unwise, something so childlike, something stupid...

I know I stand in line until you think you have the time 

To spend an evening with me 

And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance 

You won't be leaving with me 

And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place and have a drink or two 

And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like "I love you" 

I can see it in your eyes 

That you despise the same old lies you heard the night before 

And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true 

And never seemed so right before 

I practice every day to find some clever lines to say 

To make the meaning come through 

But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late and I'm alone with you 

The time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get red and, oh, the night's so blue 

And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like "I love you" 

The time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get red and, oh, the night's so blue 

And then I go and spoil it all by sayin' something stupid like "I love you" 

I love you 

I love you 

I love you 

I love you
