You and Eye
It can't be real, did I just see
That cute young girl just wink at me
I'm sure I must have seen it wrong
But just in case, I'll play along
I steal another furtive glance
Again I catch her eye by chance
She looked straight at me and that's when
I saw her wink at me again
With lush red lips and hair so blonde
I know somehow I must respond
Should I just return her wink
My hearts on fire, I've got to think
I look again and she's still there
Running her fingers through her hair
I'd love to know what she is thinking
All I know is she's still winking
I get up and walk toward her
The space between us just a blur
I greet her with “how do you do”?
She looks and says “do I know you”?
“We've never met I do not think”
I'm here because I saw you wink
I must admit to my surprise
I'll bet you have your pick of guys
She said “I think you misconstrued”
I wasn't winking at you dude
That isn't what this is about
You see, my contact lens fell out
