Lyrics
I can feel a new expression on my face
I can feel a glowing sensation taking place
I can hear the guitars playing lovely tunes
Everytime that you
Walk in the room
I close my eyes for a second and pretend it’s
Me you want
Meanwhile, I try to act so nonchalant
I see a summer’s night with a magic moon
Everytime that you
Walk in the room
Maybe it’s a dream come true
Walking right alongside of you
Wish I could tell you how much I care
But I only have the nerve to stare
I can feel a something pounding in my brain
Just anytime that someone speaks your name
Trumpets sound and I hear thunder boom
Everytime that you
Walk in the room
Everytime that you
Walk in the room
