Dusty Springfield - I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten

It isn`t the way that you look
And it isn`t the way that you talk
It isn`t the things that you say or do
Make me want you so
It is nothing to do with the wine
Or the music that`s flooding my mind
But never before have I been so sure
You`re the someone I dreamed I would find
It`s the way you make me feel
The moment I am close to you
It`s a feeling so unreal
Somehow I can`t believe it`s true
The pounding I feel in my heart
The hoping that we`ll never part
I can`t believe this is really happening to me
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you`re still here
I close my eyes and count again
I can`t believe it but you`re still here
We were strangers a moment ago
With a few dreams but nothing to show
The world was a place
With a frown on its face
And tomorrow was just I don`t know
But the way you make me feel
The moment I am close to you
Makes today seem so unreal
Somehow I can`t believe it`s true
Tomorrow will you still be here
Tomorrow will come but I fear
That what is happening to me
Is only a dream
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you`re still here
I close my eyes and count again
I can`t believe it but you`re still here
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you`re still here
It isn`t the way that you look
And it isn`t the way that you talk
It isn`t the things that you say or do
Make me want you so
It is nothing to do with the wine
Or the music that`s flooding my mind
But never before have I been so sure
You`re the someone I dreamed I would find
It`s the way you make me feel
The moment I am close to you
It`s a feeling so unreal
Somehow I can`t believe it`s true
The pounding I feel in my heart
The hoping that we`ll never part
I can`t believe this is really happening to me
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you`re still here
I close my eyes and count again
I can`t believe it but you`re still here
We were strangers a moment ago
With a few dreams but nothing to show
The world was a place
With a frown on its face
And tomorrow was just I don`t know
But the way you make me feel
The moment I am close to you
Makes today seem so unreal
Somehow I can`t believe it`s true
Tomorrow will you still be here
Tomorrow will come but I fear
That what is happening to me
Is only a dream
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you`re still here
I close my eyes and count again
I can`t believe it but you`re still here
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you`re still here
