if i keep my heart out of sight

James Taylor

If I keep on talking now
I'd only start repeating myself
And all I can say
Is I love you, i love you, i love you, I love you
If i slip and tip my hat
I'm certain to scare you away
and what would I say
I'd be hurtin' I'm certain
I'd be uncool to let you know that you're the one
A fool who jumped the gun
'Cause i've been advised by other guys you left behind
Your goodbyes were somewhat unrefined

If I play my role just right
Then tonight could be my lucky night
And you could be mine
If i presented to you
with a flower in the moonlight
shiny and new
where you couldn't say no tonight
If I keep my heart out of sight
