I close my eyes and watch the movie
It’s always starring you and me

Like a merry-go-round
You go round and around
Like a merry-go-round in my mind

What’s your name; I need to know
I’m afraid to say hello

I’m caught up in your orbit
I can’t resist the aura of you
Captured in this moment...

Paper moons, monkey shines
Birthdays cakes and valentines

I like your voice; I’ve heard you laugh
I wish I had your photograph

If I looked up your number and called you up
What could I say?
Probably something real dumb like
(“You don’t know me, but I know you.”)
