We Were Just Friends

We were just friends

Until the other day

We were in a crowded room

Listening to what the others had to say

When suddenly I felt eyes on me

I looked around the room

And he was smiling at me

Well, I didn’t know just what to do, so I smiled too

Now I know you’d never think of me as being shy

But I was afraid to reach out for the moment

Afraid the feelings might die

We were just friends

Until the other night

We were at a party

And the music was just right

When suddenly I felt eyes on me

I looked around the room

And sure enough he was smiling at me

Well, I picked up my courage and walked across the floor

I put my hand in his and said “Dance with me!”

And when I felt the magic of his embrace

I knew we’d never be just friends anymore
