Lyrics
Slip Away Today
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You jark back your hand away from mine and I move my lips away from yours
Then quietly we sit tryin' to forget
Those deep running thoughts that run wild across our minds
You quickly stop the words you start to say and we realize just how close we are
And we both know if we let ourselves go we'll do something we'll be sorry for
Slip away today means sorrow tomorrow
It's love we know but we can't keep but yet we like to borrow
Trying to hold back emotions and desires
It's hard to keep from doing something we'll be sorry for
My love hungry heart begs for more of what your lips hold in store
But our conscience just won't let us at least tonight it kept us
From jumpin' off the deep end and going too far
But one of these night you and I will be ruled by the passion of our hearts
And we both know if we let ourselves go and do something that we'll be sorry for
Slip away today means...
It's hard to keep from doing something we'll be sorry for
