falling victim

Did you notice the slight change? I like it better that way. My lyrics still are no perfect match yet a darn good one, I'd say. The chorus will need an extra upbeat note in the first line whereas the current upbeat note in the fourth line will have to be dropped - just a little musical shift. The first two lines of both the 3rd and 4th verse rhymed with "meet", actually the very word occured twice. I fixed that. "lost for words" seems to be British, whereas "toward" - fitting better than "towards" - would be American. I fixed that, too. This is the text I'll send Peter:

falling victim

we met at a dance
just by chance
we danced once or twice
stranger-wise
when I left the bar
to get the car
you stood at the door
like a decor

you gazed at me
anxiously
I paused for a while
I had to smile
time was standing still
'gainst my will
I took a step or two
toward you


I watched you watching me and saw your smile [plus upbeat - "I"]
and I realized
that I like your style

I felt stunned and insecure [minus an upbeat note]
'cause I was falling victim
to your allure


many days passed by
before you and I
met in the bar again -
I was with a man -
when you signalled me
I felt glee
I slipped you a note
full of hope

first we were discreet
yet we would meet
every other day
in a cafe
or at some place
out of the way
love on stolen time -
so sublime


I watched you watching me and saw your smile
and I realized
that I like your style

I felt stunned and insecure
'cause I was falling victim
to your allure


you changed your course
getting divorced
with all time in the world
our story unfurled
you came to stay
one summer day
our time of bliss
started like this

first an affair
now two lives shared
bright times ahead
in and out the bed
enjoying your caress,
our togetherness
feeling safe and calm
in your arms


I watch you watching me and note your smile
and I realize
that I like your style

I still feel stunned yet so secure
'cause I've fallen victim
to your allure


I watch you watching me and note your smile
and I realize
that I like your style

I still feel stunned yet so secure
'cause I've fallen victim
to your allure
