I've written words across the night And watched them wander far away But there's a feeling growing in me I haven't learned quite how to say I've always found a way to speak When something settles in my mind Yet somehow thinking of your eyes Makes all my confidence unwind I picture you across from me And suddenly I turn away Not because I wouldn't want to look But I'd be shy of what my eyes might say And I can almost see myself Trying not to smile too wide With all these beautiful emotions I can barely keep inside If you were sitting here beside me I'd forget the world outside I'd put my arms around you gently And let the evening pass us by I'd kiss your forehead if you wanted And hold you close against my chest Let the evening find its rhythm While the world outside could rest And if you wanted conversation I'd have a thousand things to say Or we could sit there on the sofa And watch the evening fade away There's something special in this feeling Something tender, something true And every time I think about it I find myself thinking of you I wonder what your smile looks like When something catches you by surprise And whether I could keep my courage If I looked directly in your eyes I imagine us on a quiet evening With the lamplight on the wall A blanket resting on the sofa And nowhere we would need to go I'd probably say something foolish Then laugh at how my words came out For a man who's written endless stories You could leave me stumbling now And I'd be happy in that moment Just enjoying where we are No need to make the evening perfect When being near would mean so much There's a tenderness I've discovered That I don't need to explain It comes whenever I imagine Your presence brightening my day If you were sitting here beside me I'd forget the world outside I'd put my arms around you gently And let the evening pass us by I'd kiss your forehead if you wanted And hold you close against my chest Let the evening find its rhythm While the world outside could rest And if you wanted conversation I'd have a thousand things to say Or we could sit there on the sofa And watch the evening fade away There's something special in this feeling Something tender, something true And every time I think about it I find myself thinking of you There's a word that sometimes rises From a place I rarely show And every time it reaches my lips I choose to let the feeling grow I don't need to rush the moment Or give a name to what I feel Some things become more beautiful When you simply let them be real And if my eyes should turn away When you catch me looking at you Just smile and give me a moment I'll find my courage coming through I'd turn back with a softer smile And maybe reach to take your hand Sometimes the heart says everything Before the words can understand We could talk about tomorrow Or simply enjoy tonight And I'd feel something beautiful With your hand resting in mine There's something special in this feeling And I want to let it grow For once I don't need all the answers Or every word I've ever known I can imagine so many things But one still makes me smile The thought of you beside me And forgetting words awhile Maybe I'd look into your eyes Then shyly turn away And somehow you would know There's something I've been trying Not to say Santi flores
