Song Description
Two people are immediately drawn together, and each knows it. But both are invloved in other relationships, so this attraction cannot consumate. This understading is communicated between them without the use of words. The evergy between the two is charged and sexy, and each is longing for the other...

Lyrics
The first time I met you
You looked at me,
And all at once we recognized
A fascination
That happens so spontaneously
Even when it?s best denied
[chorus]
The subject of you and me,
Was merely a fantasy,
And yet we discussed it
Wordlessly
It must have been the season,
To disregard reason,
The night you were almost mine
It was as if
You already knew me
And somehow I knew you too
We sat and caressed our drinks,
Telling funny tales, but all the while
We were dreaming of more pleasing things to do
[chorus]
The subject of you and me,
Had sweet possibilities
And I considered them
Breathlessly
It felt like the season,
For abandoning reason,
The night you were almost mine
[bridge]
Too soon,
For lingering silence
For putting conversation aside
Too open,
Your gaze so inviting
Couldn't we just continue to hide?
[instrumental solo]
[chorus]
The subject of you and me,
Had sweet possibilities
And we talked them over
Wordlessly
It wasn?t the season
To dare beyond reason
The night you were almost mine
