Lyrics

Look But Don?t Touch (Words and Music by Jeff Frankel)

She was an angelic beauty
And only in my dreams
Did I ever kiss her
But in the practical reality
Of waking hours
We never did touch

We walked and talked for miles
Hovering dangerously close
Above parallel tracks
Until one day
I went farther than
any man in my situation should

She sleighed my senses
One by one
I have succumb
I have surrendered
And now I feel like I?m standing
At the edge of a skyscraper
Looking down ? terrified
Yet, dying to fall

Well, I?m standing on the back porch now
With my other life inside
Full bloated winter moon over my head
Constellations just swirling around
Man, I feel like a chained-up hound
On the first night of a ?coon hunt

I feel myself slipping away
Enveloped in a euphoric haze
I am transported to her
I?m with her
In a place and time
Where, well, all prior obligations cease
You know what I mean

I?m holding her
I?m kissing her
And I?m telling her things I?m not supposed to
Because well I?m, you know what I?m talking about?
Maybe you?ve been here before
But, I?m so gone

The dream wears off
And I?m back inside with my other life
And a jones worse than ever
Gotta get some sleep
Hurry up sun, hurry up
I need to see her again

Morning finally comes
And she?s waiting there for me
Like a skating ballerina
In the snow
By the elliptical mirrored pond
And just as I take my hand
To touch her cheek
A voice inside my head says
Boy, look, but don?t touch

Look but don?t touch
