Heart In My Mouth

Walking down the aisle
Thinking about a while
Looked up saw you standing by
A moment so jubilant still wanted to cry
Had seen belles so many times
But why, why it happened this time
That my heart was in my mouth
The palpitations I felt 
With those feelings I dealt
You turned your head, glanced at me
Went by my side with so ease
Wanted to beg and say please
Tell me something your address your name
Would have sounded so lame

Moments passed so did my life
Even forgot your face 
but remembered that fateful day
When my heart was in my mouth
You headed north and I headed south

But once more he gave me a shot
Saw you again and it was all plot
Me falling from height
Can tell wasn't right
A moment so ecstatic yet so plight
But again my heart was in my mouth
Again you headed north and I headed  south

Now I know your name 
But will things ever be the same
Can't hold it back anymore
Have stepped into the door
Which has been locked
You crooked me my thoughts are blocked 
By the smile of yours
That moment I just want to pause
Still happy will always be
Is it normal I just can't see
This feeling is pure bliss
Will surely admit 
Yes unrequited it is
