a song for you

the scene is an over-crowded dance floor
the dj couldn't want more but he's not playing the right songs
an entrance by beauty not seen of this place
a certain style and casual grace that has him overwhelmed
 
somebody's falling in love with you
he wants you to know but he just can't say
someone get him a glass of water
there's a lump in his throat and he's forgotten to breathe
 
they talk and are getting on quite nicely
but the midnight cinderella disappears on the arm of another man
he waits and hopes for the chance to be with her
breathe the deep romance in her and prays for a dawning sun
 
somebody's falling in love with you
he wants you to know but i'm sure you can see
someone get him a glass of water
there's a lump in his throat and he's forgotten to breathe
 
and it's not a fall that hurts
no fear of dying through physical injury
the appetiser anticipation
realisation of what this could be
 
she's a supernova, four-leaf clover, every dream come true
he's falling over, drunken sober, falling for you
 
seems i've been waiting far too long
searching for the moment that i could sing this song
please don't say it's very flattering but you don't think it would work for us
i know i can't be wrong
