lyrics

How could this be, I only met you once
Could I wait a year to take you out to lunch?
Oh it seems that way ‘cause you and me
We won’t always be across the sea
Do I love you? Maybe so, I don’t know

I’ll be back again when the new record is out
I hope by the spring, you can come hear me sing
We can talk once more like we did outside the 100 club
I told you, you got old eyes for someone so young

I cherish the letters that you send to me
From your busy life about twice a week
I adore the French you slip in between
And the English words you spell phonetically
Do I love you? Maybe so, I don’t know

You have a tendency to say beautiful things
The way you look at trees or when describing
The color blue, a royal blue, You are royal too
If I could see you tomorrow, tomorrow couldn’t come too soon

I’ve been going out with American girls
But I get so bored, no they just won’t do
When I think of you looking right at me
In those pictures you sent over to Tennessee
Do I love you? Maybe so, I don’t know

If we could be together for a month or more
Could I write symphonies on your bedroom floor
Would you be my best friend, sew a jacket for me?
Oh, I’m dying to see because you’re already
The coolest girl I think I’ll ever meet

You design wonderful clothes, you draw and you paint
I think we think about art in a similar way
Impressionism is your favorite style
Same goes for me, oh, you make me smile
Do I love you? Maybe so, I don’t know

Sweet French girl, every week
You exchange a sketch for a classical piece of music I write
I find it all so romantic
The composer, the artist, the Atlantic
