Story Behind The Song

My friend Dave was in love with this girl at his work, and wanted to write her a song to show how he feels because he didn't have the nerve to ask her by himself. So he gave her the tape of the song we wrote together as a way of asking her out on a date.

Song Description

About falling for someone but not being able to tell that person. Possible scared of rejection or in your heart, it might be better off staying as a fantasy! Therefore, Love never lost.

Lyrics

Diane

I GET THIS FEELING WHEN YOU WALK ON BY
THAT I FOUND YOU APPEALING AND I DON'T KNOW WHY
IT MIGHT BE THE MYSTERY THAT'S IN YOUR EYES
IT SEEMS TO MAKE ME FANTASIZE

YOU KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING THAT I WANTED TO SAY
BUT I JUST COULDN'T SEEM TO FIND AWAY
THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW
BUT IT'S JUST SO HARD TO LET MY FEELINGS SHOW

Chorus: DIANE PLEASE UNDERSTAND
TAKE ME ONE STEP CLOSER TO YOUR HEART IF YOU CAN
DIANE SEE ME FANTASY
TAKE ME ONE STEP CLOSER TO YOUR DESTINY

YOU KNOW NEED SOMEONE, SOMEONE WHO CARES AND IT'S NICE TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE IS THERE
I'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE AND I KNOW HOW IT FEELS
SO TAKE MY LOVE A LOVE THAT'S REAL

I GET THE FEELING YOU'VE BEEN BURNED BEFORE
AND IT TAKES SO MUCH TIME JUST TO BE SURE
SO JUST GIVE ME A CHANCE YOU NEED A ROMANCER
TO PRY AND OPEN UP YOUR HEART ONCE MORE

Chorus: DIANE PLEASE UNDERSTAND
TAKE ME ONE STEP CLOSER TO YOUR HEART IF YOU CAN
DIANE SEE ME FANTASY
TAKE ME ONE STEP CLOSER TO YOUR DESTINY

AHH, AHH (PLEASE UNDERSTAND,COME ON DIANE, I KNOW I CAN BE THERE, JUST GIVE ME A CHANCE DIANE, JUST TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS, JUST ONE NIGHT)
