the movie (jch -- 11/30/98)
sitting with you
drinking in your every thought
the movement of your eyes
or the way you hold your hands when you're nervous
a comfortable silence
so close
so close
the pull
the tug of the heart
surely it takes more effort not
to touch you
not to reach for your hand
than it does to sit here like this
to focus on the screen
the words
the music

if only I could explain

to stroke your hair
to caress your cheek
to hold your hand
to look into your eyes
the kiss
the first kiss
the second kiss
the third kiss

all i want is just one dance

all i need is just one chance
