This change I feel puzzles me
It's strange, a real mystery
Maybe you see it, if you do see it
What on earth can it be?
Lately I find myself out gazing at stars
Hearing guitars like someone in love
Sometimes the things I do astound me
Mostly whenever you're around me
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings
Bump into things like someone in love
Each time I look at you I'm limp as a glove
And feeling like someone in love
Lately I find myself out gazing at stars
Hearing guitars like someone in love
Sometimes the things I do astound me
Mostly whenever you're around me
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings
Bump into things like someone in love
Each time I look at you I'm limp as a glove
And feeling like someone in love

As recorded by STEVE LAWRENCE:
Be careful what you do to me
This game of love is new to me
I've never made a move I hadn't planned myself
But nowadays I just don't understand myself
Lately I find myself out gazing at stars
Hearing guitars, like someone in love
Sometimes the things I do astound me
Mostly whenever you're around me
Lately I seem to walk as though I gad wings
Bump into things, like someone in love
Each time I look at you, I'm limp as a glove
And feeling just like someone in love
(Orchestral Interlude)
Each time I look at you, I'm limp as a glove
And feeling just like someone in love
