Byblos (Rehearsal)

I saw her once before she didn't turn me on

One night she stopped to talk to pass the time

And then I saw her eyes her softly smiling glow

We sat and talked all night at byblos

She talked of feelings that I knew were true

She painted me a picture using every shade of blue

It was light with laughter at times it made me cry

And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her

To squeeze never her to kiss her I never tried to please her

Then soon she had to go

I sat there all alone

And thought of things she said

The whole day through

And then I realized

I never took the time

To find out where she lived

Or where to call

I thought that I would see her

The next night

Anticipating how I'd set myself right

Then I went back to byblos

I sat there and waited

Feeling just a little nervous

And a little frustrated

Then soon in she came looking just the same

I could hardly wait to take her far from that game

Then a person came in to the club

That I had to speak to

I explained the situation to her

And I thought she understood

But I guess she thought that I was jiving her around

'Cause when I looked for her this is what I found

She was rapping with a real good friend of mine

He was happy oh it was his time

I really couldn't blame him

He was sad and lonely too

But just talking to her did me so much good

I knew she'd do him no good too

Then I went home and I got it on

Sat down to write these words when I was finally alone

Then about halfway through I wondered if someone knew

Where she was so I could give her a call

And I found out that she was right down the hall

Not too far away

But that's ok I'll just wait for the day

When I can see her again

And spend some time time
