… 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, it 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
