As recorded by ANNETTE HANSHAW:


If you were near me
I wouldn't dare to say
What I'm about to say to you
You only hear me
So I can blush unseen
And speak my mind out
I'd like to find out

Why is it I spend the day
Wake up and end the day
Thinking of you

Oh, why does it do this to me
Is it such bliss to be
Thinking of you

And when I fall asleep at night, it seems
You just tiptoe into all my dreams

So, I think of no other one
Ever since I've begun
Thinking of you

(Instrumental Break)

Why is it I spend the day
Wake up and end the day
Thinking of you

Oh, why does it do this to me
Is it such bliss to be
Thinking of you

And when I fall asleep at night, it seems
You just tiptoe into all my dreams

So, I think of no other one
Ever since I've begun
Thinking of you
I think of you all the day through

That's all!
