Dusty Springfield
I Close My Eyes and Count to Ten
[Verse 1]
It isn't the way that you look
And it isn't the way that you talk
It isn't the things that you say or do
Make me want you so
[Verse 2]
It is nothing to do with the wine
Or the music that's floodin' my mind
But never before have I been so sure
You're the someone I dreamed I would find
[Pre-Chorus]
It's the way you make me feel
The moment I am close to you
It's a feelin' so unreal
Somehow I can't believe it's true
The poundin' I feel in my heart
The hoping that we'll never part
I can't believe this is really happenin' to me
[Chorus]
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you're still here
I close my eyes and count again
I can't believe it but you're still here
[Verse 3]
We were strangers a moment ago
With a few dreams but nothing to show
The world was a place with a frown on its face
And tomorrow was just, I don't know
[Pre-Chorus]
But the way you make me feel
The moment I am close to you
Makes today seem so unreal
Somehow I can't believe it's true
Tomorrow will you still be here?
Tomorrow will come but I fear
That what is happenin' to me is only a dream
[Chorus]
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you're still here
I close my eyes and count again
I can't believe it but you're still here
[Outro]
I close my eyes and count to ten
I can't believe it but you're still here
