IF I COULD GET TO YOU

with Janice Merritt       (www.janiceandbud.com)

every time a friend says your name my heart skips a beat
it's poetry in motion whenever you walk down the street
when you smile and say hello i can hardly speak
my tongue get tied, my throat gets dry, my knees get weak

     if i could get to you like you get to me
     if i could make you feel about me
     the way i do about you
     oh, the potential
     oh, the possibilities
     if i could get to you like you get to me

i don't know if this is love but it's stronger everyday
i long ago gave up trying to make it go away
i know we could be magic if you only felt the same
right now i'm just a friend of a friend
you barely know my name

     if i could get to you like you get to me
     if i could make you feel about me
     the way i do about you
     oh, the potential
     oh, the possibilities
     if i could get to you like you get to me

i'm gonna get my courage up, i'm gonna ask you out
maybe i'll say yes, maybe we'll find out

     if i can get to you like you get to me
     if i can make you feel about me
     the way i do about you
     oh, the potential
     oh, the possibilities
     if i can get to you like you get to me
