If I Was Younger

I don't know what I'm doing here,
Your driving me insane.
You make my heart do somersaults,
I don't even know your name.
Your smile is warm and tender
Your eyes the brightest star,
They could put you in a crowded room
I would know exactly where you are.
If I was ten years younger,
And a whole lot fitter too.
I would take you by the hand right now,
And run away with you.
