Just because I memorize the way your eyes shine
Doesn't mean they'll sparkle in a smile
And walk over to ask me to dance

Just because I memorize the way your body moves
Every part silently singing out like a sleek jazz song
Doesn't mean I'll feel its warmth against me as we dance the night away

Just because I've memorized the sound of your trumpet
The sweet music that sails over the band on your solo
Doesn't mean you'll press your lips against mine the way you press them to your mouthpiece

I've memorized everything about you
The way you sing, talk, walk
But I don't know what else I could do

So please let your eyes twinkle in a smile
As you walk over to ask me to dance
