A# Dm
You came in from the cold and asked me to dance - i knew,
A# Dm
That my lucky stars were hoping i'd say "i do."
Fm
So there you stood and something told me that i should.
C
So there you stood and something told me that i should.
[Verse 2]
A# Dm
But the look in your eyes was a bit too bright - i said "no."
A# Dm
Maybe the melting snow on your deep black hair made me go?
Fm
So there you stood and something made me walk away.
C
So there you stood and something made me walk away.
[Verse 3]
A# Dm
Was the dj so bad that i went nearly mad? - i don't know.
A# Dm
He should have played something old, something melancholy and slow.
Fm
So there you stood and something made me walk away.
C
Away i went yet something told me to stay.
[Chorus]
It would've been a beautiful day to heed your call.
It would've been a wonderful scene to watch the snow fall.
[Verse 4]
A# Dm
Then the summer came, we met on the street - too soon.
A# Dm
You seized my hand and asked if i didn't like you.
Fm
So there you stood and something told me that i should.
C
So there you stood and something told me that i should.
[Verse 5]
A# Dm
But my laundry was due and the heat wave was intense too.
A# Dm
So i went kinda speechless and absent-minded 'bout you.
Fm
So there you stood and something made me walk away.
C
Away i went yet something told me to stay.
[Chorus]
It would've been like a love song to walk hand in hand.
It would've been a carpe diem to carve hearts in the sand.
[Verse 6]
A# Dm
So now i dance on my own and wander about - so blue.
A# Dm
I keep passing my days by hoping that i'd see you.
Fm
So i could wait if something made me walk away.
C
So i could wait if something told me i should stay.
