Hide and Seek

Cat and Mouse: hide and seek This could take an hour or week No one wants to seem too bold So we put our love on hold A peek here and a peek there Wondering if we really dare Wondering what the seconds bring Wondering if the phone will ring Wondering, wondering: peek a boo You’re hiding…. but I SEE you I see past that great big wall Your heart’s ready for the fall I know that you caught the bait But I sit and wait and wait I’m patient, got time of day But oh, what if you get away! Cat and mouse: hide and seek Oh, my knees are getting weak Oh, this heart’s sure to explode The waiting’s gone to overload One more second's just too much No time for cat games and such Hide and seek…is getting old Here I am! My love is bold! Ready? You'll be caught real tight! Cause boy, your just out of sight! Eileen Manassian Ghali
