In Love This Way Lyrics

(Lyrics and Music by M. Aukerman)

    I'm lonely today, won't you come out to play
    When I'm with you all the world goes away
    your smile and your eyes, they keep me alive
    Your voice is a bell that massages my mind

  * And it makes me wonder
    And it makes me sad
    And it makes me nervous
    And it makes me mad

    Because I think about you every night and day
    And when I could have asked I let it slip away
    I've got to get to know you, but I'm so afraid
    Well it's so hard to be a friend and be in love this way

    Oh talk to me please, you've brought me to my knees
    Only your words melt my twenty year freeze
    I've known you so long, I've known you all along
    But suddenly my thoughts of you have been so strong

    *

    Because I wonder if I'm more than just a friend
    Did I really see a fire - or just inside my head
    Sometimes I know you just want me to go away
    Well it's so hard to be a friend and be in love this way

    Karen, may I see your blue eyes
    Karen, may I tell you tonight
    That it makes me wonder
