Only Just a Glance
by J.E. Melton
Things are seldom what they seem.
Is life nothing but a dream?
Love is only just a glance,
Eyes that meet as if by chance,
Things are seldom what they seem.
Shall a woman do what she can?
Can a man be nothing but a man?
Love is only just a glance,
Hearts follow steps within the dance,
Shall a woman do what she can?
A kiss is nothing but a kiss,
Might lips touch instead of miss?
Love is only just a glance,
Whatever the moment can enhance,
A kiss is nothing but a kiss.
[instrumental]
Things are seldom what they seem.
Why can't we live within this dream?
Love is only just a glance,
There's no such thing as sweet romance,
Things are seldom what they seem.
Tomorrow we'll have to part,
Who needs a broken heart?
Love is only just a glance,
Don't be afraid to take the chance.
Tomorrow we'll have to part.
Love is only just a dream,
Things are seldom
What they seem.

I can hear one of the old crooner's singing this, Erin without a hint to most of the audience of just what some of the lines mean. A TG version of Strangers in the Night. :grin:
