C
It's not the way you look
C Dm
It's not the way that you smile
Dm
Although there's something to them
C
It's not the way you have your hair
C Dm
It's not that certain style
Dm
It could be that with you

It's not the make-up

It's not the evening sky

It's more the way your eyes
C Dm
Are laughing as they glance
Dm
Across the great divide

It must be something more

And if I feel this way for so long
C Dm
Tell me is it all for nothing
Dm
Just don't walk out the door
