Reflection (Friday Night) words and music by Bill Pere (He): Who is that girl sitting all alone On a Friday night, she looks sad, like a cold and sunless dawn Hey pretty girl, why are you alone? Don't you know that just down the street there's a party going on? (She): I know but I don't think they'd want me there, I'd be in the way I don't dance, and I don't want to get stoned Besides both my sisters are there and I told them I'd stay here Just in case one of their boyfriends should phone (He): Well if you don't have a date and since it's not very late I can stay and talk and find out who you are I don't converse very well, I guess you can tell, But one thing I can do is sing, but I don't have my guitar (She): Please I'd like to hear, will you sing for me Can we go and get your guitar,? I bet you play like a star Let's go to your home I'll forget the phone, I don't like to be all alone, we won't have to walk too far (Both): And who is this person? I like the way she/he looks at me Those eyes are filled with such kindness, I wonder what kinds of things do they see in me? (He): Please don't expect virtuosity, Just a simple song is the best I can do, but it's for you (She): Just go ahead, play your melody, I know it will be the reflection of all I see in you (He): Then I played my song, and before too long I was in the embrace Of the adoring smile on her face (She): And each note I heard Whispered hidden meanings and words in my ear Then he held me near, I was filled with such joy and such fear (Both): Please I don't know what to do When I am alone with you and I'm scared, I've never done this before You think that you can't offer me very much But I don't think too many others could give more You made me the reflection Of the love that I saw in your eyes. ================================ Copyright Bill Pere All rights reserved. |
