[Intro — warm synth chords, heavy bass and drums; softly sung] Let me look at you. Mm, look at you. [Verse 1 — fully sung, relaxed rhythmic melody] I had so much to tell you. Had it ready on the way. Now you’re standing right in front of me. I can’t remember a thing. You reach for me. I meet you halfway. You hold on a little longer. I was hoping you’d stay. [Pre-Chorus — rising melody; instruments simplify] I knew I missed you. Didn’t know how much till you said my name close enough to touch. [Chorus — open melody, yearning sustained vowels] Let me look at you. Let me take my time. I’ve been loving you from somewhere else. Now your hand’s in mine. [Space for the lead vocal to resolve] Come a little closer. Let me hold you, too. After all that waiting, all I wanna do— is look at you. [Brief breathy tenor sax answer; bass and percussion maintain movement] [Verse 2 — warm melodic variation; no sax beneath lead] You laugh at how I’m smiling. I don’t even try to stop. Kiss me halfway through a sentence. There goes another thought. We fall into our old rhythm. You start teasing me again. I forgot how good it feels not to want the day to end. [Pre-Chorus — softer opening, fuller finish] No more counting. No more almost there. I tell you that I love you. You kiss me then and there. [Chorus — fuller lead, selective low sung self-answers] Let me look at you. Let me take my time. I’ve been loving you from somewhere else. Now your hand’s in mine. [Space] Come a little closer. Let me hold you, too. After all that waiting, all I wanna do— is look at you. [Short tenor sax variation, then silence from sax] [Bridge — melodic bass and muted hand percussion; exposed sung lead] I held it together till you held me. [Space] Didn’t know how much I needed this. Let the words come later. Let me stay like this. [Instrumental — four bars; expressive clean guitar, sustained bends and melodic pauses; bass and hand percussion maintain the groove] [Final Chorus — full drums return; impassioned upper mix, selective falsetto answers] Let me look at you. Let me take my time. I’ve been loving you from somewhere else. Now your hand’s in mine. [Lead resolves into a brief descending run] Come a little closer. Let me hold you, too. After all that waiting, all I wanna do— is look at you. [Outro — fully sung, tender descending melody] I missed you. [Space] I like this better. [Soft guitar resolution over warm synth chords and bass]
