A Good Look At You

M.L. Kortes/Stephen Butler

I’ve waited longer than I can remember

Just to lift up the last unturned stone that you threw

In the shadows of innocent slumber

All for a good look at you

I took a walk through the streets of your childhood

Had a talk with an old man you said that you knew

Hid awhile on the steps of the schoolyard

All for a good look at you

Everyone tried to tell me

You can’t climb over a wall made of secrets and fear

Still I’d change my point of view

For a good look at you

What if time could stand still for a moment

What if I could stop turning the world with my hand

Would I find your heart suddenly open

Would I know where you stand

I’m not looking for love made of mystery

I want emotion so clear I can almost see through

In your shadow so long you could miss me

All for a good look at you

Everyone tried to tell me

You can’t climb over a wall made of secrets and fear

Still I’d change my point of view

For a good look at you

SOLO

La da dee da da da da da da da

La da dee da da da da da da da da da

La da dee da da da da da da da

All for a good look at you
