A#                                      Dm
You came in from the cold and asked me to dance - i knew,
        A#                             Dm
That my lucky stars were hoping i'd say "i do."
                                             Fm
So there you stood and something told me that i should.
                                              C
So there you stood and something told me that i should.

[Verse 2]
        A#                                           Dm
But the look in your eyes was a bit too bright - i said "no."
        A#                                         Dm
Maybe the melting snow on your deep black hair made me go?
                                           Fm
So there you stood and something made me walk away.
                                           C
So there you stood and something made me walk away.

[Verse 3]
        A#                                         Dm
Was the dj so bad that i went nearly mad? - i don't know.
        A#                                                 Dm
He should have played something old, something melancholy and slow.
                                           Fm
So there you stood and something made me walk away.
                                    C
Away i went yet something told me to stay.

[Chorus]

It would've been a beautiful day to heed your call.

It would've been a wonderful scene to watch the snow fall.

[Verse 4]
        A#                                   Dm
Then the summer came, we met on the street - too soon.
        A#                                  Dm
You seized my hand and asked if i didn't like you.
                                            Fm
So there you stood and something told me that i should.
                                           C
So there you stood and something told me that i should.

[Verse 5]
        A#                                      Dm
But my laundry was due and the heat wave was intense too.
        A#                                       Dm
So i went kinda speechless and absent-minded 'bout you.
                                           Fm
So there you stood and something made me walk away.
                                     C
Away i went yet something told me to stay.

[Chorus]

It would've been like a love song to walk hand in hand.

It would've been a carpe diem to carve hearts in the sand.

[Verse 6]
        A#                                    Dm
So now i dance on my own and wander about - so blue.
        A#                                   Dm
I keep passing my days by hoping that i'd see you.
                                         Fm
So i could wait if something made me walk away.
                                         C
So i could wait if something told me i should stay.
