One Day By Chance

One day by chance I came your way
and saw your gentle smile
I gazed into your burning eyes
one thought to stay a while

The subtle way you meet my words
with tenderness and grace
A feeling deep inside awakes
each time I see your face

I yearn to get to know you better
to hear your loving voice
To be a friend forever more
a joy I'd take by choice

But when I see that you are there
a fear in me does rise
And I can find no words to say
for me a strong surprise

For I could talk for hours on end
to everyone around
But somehow girl you make me stand
with both feet on the ground
