In Love This Way

I'm lonely today, won't you come out to play

When I'm with you all the world goes away

your smile and your eyes, they keep me alive

Your voice is a bell that massages my mind

And it makes me wonder

And it makes me sad

And it makes me nervous

And it makes me mad

Because I think about you every night and day

And when I could have asked I let it slip away

I've got to get to know you, but I'm so afraid

Well it's so hard to be a friend and be in love this way

Oh talk to me please, you've brought me to my knees

Only your words melt my twenty year freeze

I've known you so long, I've known you all along

But suddenly my thoughts of you have been so strong

Because I wonder if I'm more than just a friend

Did I really see a fire - or just inside my head

Sometimes I know you just want me to go away

Well it's so hard to be a friend and be in love this way

Karen, may I see your blue eyes

Karen, may I tell you tonight

That it makes me wonder
