Lyrics
That's How I Feel (When I'm Around You)
Words & music by Steve Givens and Jim Russell
Ac 2003 Potter's Mark Music (BMI)
If you ask how I feel about you, dear
My answers wouldn't give you a clue.
The only way to begin, I tell you again,
Is to ask a few questions of you...
Do you ever feel like a kid at Christmas,
Like a child at play or a fan at a game?
Do you ever feel a strange attraction,
like a bee to a rose or a moth to a flame?
Well that's how I feel.
That's how I feel.
That's how I feel...when I'm around you.
Have you ever seen the smile on Mona Lisa,
A Parisian night or a fountain in Rome?
Have you ever heard a big band playing,
Swinging on a star, flying you home?
Have you ever heard my heartbeat humming
When I walk in a room and see you standing there?
Do we ever seem like Fred and Ginger
Dancing cheek to cheek in the midnight air?
