TEN DAYS

(B. Thompson)

Babe, if it wouldn't have been for my shyness
Maybe this wouldn't have come so fast
Social classes and stereotypes
Have a way of messing up my life
Oh, if I hadn't been such a blind fool
Now I find myself cramming two years into just 10 days

The beauty of those 10 days Îtil
The love in my heart will tip over and spill
A girl in my life is going away
No way to assure me that I
Will ever see her again

Sophisticated lady won't you
Slip your hand into mine
Lady I've come to take your heart
I'm not trying to say that I'm in love with you
Not just yet
I'm just saying that if we get separated now
We may never have the chance

She says that she will write me
Every time she feels the pain
Of three thousand miles coming between her
And the man that she thinks I am
I've never let so much land come between me
And anyone I love
If only my arms were as long
