When the real thing comes along, it can be quite an experience...
Ally Piermarini---
Singer, Songwriter
Still at it. Sometimes I can hardly believe it myself...Forty years and thousands of gigs...and I'm still doing it pretty much as I've always done.
Story behind the song
I think the lyric speaks for itself. Recorded this rather sparsely, and just never got around to reworking it....I like to think it retains a sense of honesty as it is...
Lyrics
I COULD HARDLY BELIEVE IT, WHAT YOU TOLD ME LAST NIGHT
AS YOU LOOKED IN MY FACE, AND I HELD YOUR HAND TIGHT,
YOU SAID IT WOULD BE EASY, FOR YOU TO LOVE ME,
BUT YOU NEVER DID SAY, JUST HOW SOON THAT MIGHT BE
I REMEMBER OUR PROMISE, THAT WE'D TAKE IT SLOW,
BUT I JUST GOTTA TELL YOU, CAUSE I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW
LOVE COMES ONCE TO THE LUCKY, AND TWICE TO THE BLESSED
AND IT SEEMS TO COME NEVER, TO MOST OF THE REST
NOW THE WAY THAT I FEEL, I MUST BE ONE OF THE FEW
AND IF THIS IS LOVE, I WANT TO BE IN LOVE WITH YOU.
AND TODAY WHEN I CALLED YOU, YOU ACTED QUITE COOL
SO YOU'LL HAVE TO FORGIVE ME, IF I ACTED THE FOOL
DARLING MAYBE I'M CRAZY, AND I'M OUT OF CONTROL
BUT I JUST CAN'T DENY, WHAT I FEEL IN MY SOUL
AND I DON'T WANT TO SCARE YOU, I DON'T WANT YOU TO LEAVE
BUT I'LL TELL YOU AGAIN, CAUSE I TRULY BELIEVE
(CHORUS)
YEAH, WE'RE TAKING A CHANCE, WE'VE BOTH BEEN HURT IN THE PAST
BUT NOW AREN'T WE BOTH LOOKING FOR A LOVE THAT WILL LAST?
NOW TONIGHT WE'RE TOGETHER, SO I ASK YOU ONCE MORE
DO YOU WANT ME TO HOLD YOU, OR LET YOU WALK OUT THAT DOOR
I KNOW THAT IT'S FRIGHTENING, TO GIVE UP YOUR HEART
BUT IF WE CAN'T BE TOGETHER, THEN WE MUST STAY APART
AND I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE FEELING, CAUSE I FEEL THE SAME WAY
BUT MY HEART'S IN MY THROAT, SO I CAN'T SEEM TO SAY
(CHORUS)
