Chicago - Byblos Lyrics
I saw her once before; she didnt turn me on.One night she stopped to talk to pass the time.And then I saw her eyes; her softly smiling glow,We sat and talked all night at byblos.She talked of feelings that I knew were true.She painted me a picture using every shade of blueIt was light with laughter, at times it made me cry,And now Ill never know just why I didnt ever try to hold her;To squeeze her; to kiss her all night long, I never tried to please her.Then, soon she had to go;I sat there all aloneAnd thought of things she saidThe whole day through.And then I realized,I never took the timeTo find out where she livedOr where to call.I thought that I would see herThe next night,Anticipating how Id set myself right.Then, I went back to byblos;I sat there and waited,Feeling just a little nervousAnd a little frustrated.Then, soon, in she came, looking just the sameOo, I could hardly wait to take her far from the game.Then a person came in to the clubThat I had to speak toI explained the situation to herAnd I thought she understoodBut I guess she thought I was jiving her aroundCause when I looked for her, this is what I foundShe was rapping with a real good friend of mine,He was happening, I guess it was his time.I really couldnt blame him, cause he was sad and lonely too.But just talking to her did me so much good, I knew shed do him good too.Then I went home and I got it on,Sat down to write these words when I was finally alone.And then, about halfway through I wondered if someone knewWhere she was, so I could give her a call,And I found out that she was right down the hall,Not too far away,But thats ok, Ill just wait for the day when I can see her againAnd spend some time.
