something stupid like: “I love you”

I know I stand in line,
until you think you have the time
to spend an evening with me.

And though it’s just a line to you
for me it’s true
and never seemed so right before

I practice every day
to find some clever lines to say
to make the meaning come through
But then I think I’ll wait
until the evening gets late
and I’m alone with you

The time is right
your perfume fills my head
the stars get red
and oh, the night’s so blue.
And then I go and spoil it all,
by saying something stupid
like: “I love you”
