Chicago - Byblos (rehearsal) lyrics

I saw her once before; she didn't turn me on One night she stopped to talk to pa** the time And then I saw her eyes; her softly smiling glow We sat and talked all night at Byblos She talked of feelings that I knew were true She painted me a picture using ev'ry shade of blue It was light with laughter, At times it made me cry And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her; To squeeze her; to kiss her all night long, I never tried to please her Then, soon she had to go; I sat there all alone And thought of things she said The whole day through And then I realized I never took the time To find out where she lived Or where to call I thought that I would see Her the next night Anticipating how I'd set myself right Then, I went back to Byblos; I sat there and waited Feeling just a little nervous And a little frustrated Then, soon, in she came, looking just the same Oo, I could hardly wait to take her far from the game Then a person came in to the club That I had to speak to I explained the situation to her And i thought she understood But I guess she thought I was jiving her around Cause when I looked for her, this is what I found She was rapping with a real good friend of mine He was happening, I guess it was his time I really couldn't blame him, cause he was sad and lonely too But just talking to her did me so much good, I knew she'd do him good too Then I went home and I got it on Sat down to write these words when I was finally alone And then, about halfway through I wondered if someone knew Where she was, so I could give her a call And I found out that she was right down the hall Not too far away But that's ok, I'll just wait for the day when I can see Her again and spend some time
