never knew

chester see

she walks through the door

like so many times before

but this time she had my head turning

like a movie scene

slow-motion dream

i wonder if she caught me smiling

we hug and sit

we do this quite a bit

another lunch between two friends

says sorry i'm late

i didn't mind the wait

she smiles at me and i start melting

'cause i never knew

that when she smiles

she lights up the whole room

she tells me her day

she's got a lot to say

i don't mind to hear her speak

the waiter passes by

well that's okay we'll take our time

cause there's not place i'd rather be

she tells a joke i've heard

but i pretend she's told me first

and then i laugh a bit too early

that's when i realize

i've been staring at her eyes

i wonder if she sees right through me

i never knew

her eyes were such a pretty shade of blue

it's time to go

but little does she know

i don't really want to leave

we go our separate ways

and as she drives away

it all becomes so very clear to me

i never knew

i never knew

i never knew

that all this time i'd been falling for you
