I try to say just how I feel
Whenever you're around
I light another cigarette
And in the smoky sun
Your face comes shinin' through
All other faces, I forget.

The others pass us by
They turn and shake their heads
You're just a habit I can't break
The Greta Garbo pose
Can't hide your schoolgirl face
I feel my knees begin to quake.

        I wanna hold you in my arms
        Touch you in my dreams
        Wake and find you lyin' by my side
        Words can never say the way I feel
        At least this song will show my heart has tried.

The cigarette is cold
You say it's time to go
Your boss is grinding you today
Tomorrow I'll be here (yeah)
One day closer -- who knows where?
Searching for the words I wanna say:

        I wanna hold you in my arms
        Touch you in my dreams
        Wake and find you lyin' by my side
        Words can never say the way I feel
        But at least this song will show my heart has tried.

I try to say just how I feel --
Whenever you're around
I light another...
And another...
And another...
And another...
And another...
And another...
And another...
(cough, cough, cough -- wheeze)
