James Taylor - If I Keep My Heart Out of Sight lyrics

If I keep on talking now

I'd only start repeating myself

And all I can say

Is I love you, i love you, i love you, I love you

If i slip and tip my hat

I'm certain to scare you away

and what would I say

I'd be hurtin' I'm certain

I'd be uncool to let you know that you're the one

A fool who jumped the gun

'Cause i've been advised by other guys you left behind

Your goodbyes were somewhat unrefined

If I play my role just right

Then tonight could be my lucky night

And you could be mine

If i presented to you

with a flower in the moonlight

shiny and new

where you couldn't say no tonight

If I keep my heart out of sight
