Lyrics

Nearly in love

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.

Love makes people so blind

That's why I can't make up my mind

If you stop me dead in my tracks

Or you just paper over the cracks

You're the one I've wanted so long

But then again I might be wrong

Now you look just right in the pale moonlight

But let me turn the headlights on

'Cause I'm nearly in love

I'm nearly in love

I'm almost aware of walking on air

Yes, I'm nearly in love

I'm nearly in love

I'm nearly in love

I wish I was really, I'd love to dearly

But I'm nearly in love

I don't want to cause you doubt

But I'm really checking you out

You're the closest to my heart bar none

Except for my wallet and my gun

I never felt like this before

That's why I want to make quite sure

That it's not just a dose of the 'flu

That gives me the chills for you

I'm nearly in love

I'm nearly in love

I'm almost aware of walking on air

Yes I'm nearly in love

I'm nearly in love

I'm nearly in love

I wish I was really, I'd love to dearly

But I'm nearly in love

I reserve the right to love you

After all I'm the first in line

I'm not one for shout and screaming

Mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine

I'm nearly in love

I'm nearly in love

I'm almost aware of walking on air

Yes I'm nearly in love

I'm nearly in love

I'm nearly in love

I wish I was really, I'd love to dearly

But I'm nearly in love
