You came in from the cold and asked me to dance - i knew,
That my lucky stars were hoping i'd say "i do."
So there you stood and something told me that i should.
So there you stood and something told me that i should.
But the look in your eyes was a bit too bright - i said "no."
Maybe the melting snow on your deep black hair made me go?
So there you stood and something made me walk away.
So there you stood and something made me walk away.
Was the dj so bad that i went nearly mad? - i don't know.
He should have played something old, something melancholy and slow.
So there you stood and something made me walk away.
Away i went yet something told me to stay.
It would've been a beautiful day to heed your call.
It would've been a wonderful scene to watch the snow fall.
Then the summer came, we met on the street - too soon.
You seized my hand and asked if i didn't like you.
So there you stood and something told me that i should.
So there you stood and something told me that i should.
But my laundry was due and the heat wave was intense too.
So i went kinda speechless and absent-minded 'bout you.
So there you stood and something made me walk away.
Away i went yet something told me to stay.
It would've been like a love song to walk hand in hand.
It would've been a carpe diem to carve hearts in the sand.
So now i dance on my own and wander about - so blue.
I keep passing my days by hoping that i'd see you.
So i could wait if something made me walk away.
So i could wait if something told me i should stay.
