Let You Get Away
I feel just like a madman 'cause I don't know where to start
And I'm scared as hell to tell what's deep down in my heart
And I feel like I could cry right now
Baby baby baby don't think I'm not aware
Of who you are or where you've been or what you've done
'Cause I've seen your picture on all those magazines
And I never even been to Paris
And I know you might find this hard to believe but it's true
It's been all these years since I felt the things I'm starting to feel for you
And then I look into your angel face and try to see
What a girl like you would ever want with a man like me
I just know I won't let you get away, let you get away
Let you get away... from me
Many many many years ago there was a girl who looked a lot like you
Who came in one night and liked the way I sang "Spanish Harlem"
Soft and low
She took me in her car, she took me to her house
She took me in her arms, she took me to her bed
But she would not take me into her heart
And I know you might find this hard to believe
But I swear to God it's true
It's been all these years and a week does not go by
When I don't think about that girl
And start to cry
And then I look into your angel face and try to see
What a girl like you would ever want with a man like me
All I know is I won't let you get away, let you get away
Let you get away... from me
I won't let love slip through my fingers this time
I won't let you get away from me
And I'm scared as hell to tell what's deep down in my heart
And I feel like I could cry right now
Baby baby baby don't think I'm not aware
Of who you are or where you've been or what you've done
'Cause I've seen your picture on all those magazines
And I never even been to Paris
And I know you might find this hard to believe but it's true
It's been all these years since I felt the things I'm starting to feel for you
And then I look into your angel face and try to see
What a girl like you would ever want with a man like me
I just know I won't let you get away, let you get away
Let you get away... from me
Many many many years ago there was a girl who looked a lot like you
Who came in one night and liked the way I sang "Spanish Harlem"
Soft and low
She took me in her car, she took me to her house
She took me in her arms, she took me to her bed
But she would not take me into her heart
And I know you might find this hard to believe
But I swear to God it's true
It's been all these years and a week does not go by
When I don't think about that girl
And start to cry
And then I look into your angel face and try to see
What a girl like you would ever want with a man like me
All I know is I won't let you get away, let you get away
Let you get away... from me
I won't let love slip through my fingers this time
I won't let you get away from me
