Half A Song

(album: Gotta Be Me - 2016)

The band was starting Slow Hand
About the time you walked in
I could see it in your eyes
You were heart broke and needing a friend
The singer started singing as I let you have my bar stool
And before that first chorus was through

You were already smiling
I said no use in trying
Open up a tab, oh girl I'm gladly buying
Ain't it funny thinking you were thinking you be drinking alone
Baby ain't it crazy what can happen in half a song

The second verse started
I asked you if you'd like to dance
When you said no I figured well there goes my chance
But the singer kept on singing and before he hit that chorus again
I felt you grab my hand,
then we bee-lined to the floor like we'd done this before,
holding onto you one, two, three four.
Spinning and a getting in a rhythm, girl it didn't take long
Baby ain't it crazy what can happen in half a song

That song ended, said we've only got one more,
now we're half way through and we're still out here on the floor
Wonder what you're thinking 'cause I think I'd like to drive you home,
but I know that's probably never gonna happen,
I'll just settle for your number on a napkin
then again you never know what could happen in half a song,
half a song
