Unrequited Attraction
I caught your eye as it flashed across my line of sight,
My first thought was that you were completely--out of sight.
A beautiful blonde would not give me a second thought,
I might as well have been a million miles--from your sight.
I sent a note to you along with a nice glass of sweet Bordeaux
You accepted it and quickly took it from the bar--and my sight.
But I could not see you in the smoky dust rising distant there
With a handsome man embracing, the dancing--from my sight.
So, I left my drink upon the bar and left the smokey bar alone
Once home, I dreamed of the blonde who stole my heart--on sight.
I have returned to the bar several times since I saw you there
But you have not returned to dance the night away--in my sight.
