Lyrics
I still get a thrill, when you touch me
My heart still misses a beat
I still get a kiss, when we say goodnight
You still leave me on trembling feet.
I still get a thrill, when you call me
I’m still not sure, what to say
I still hope I’m on your mind sometimes
Even if it’s just for the next day
I still catch a smile in your eyes sometimes
That says you still think about me
I still have to pretend, that we’re just good friends
But there’s something else I can see
I still get a thrill, when I see you
No matter the time or the place
I still seem to smile, a little awkward I know
When I still see that look on your face
I still stumble and fall, when I am with you
I still know there’s something not right
I still feel a magic, whenever I see you
Your eyes still light up the night
I still get a thrill, when you’re near me
Your lips still taste like champagne
I still hope I’ll have your love some day
I still thrill at the sound of your name
I still get a thrill, when you touch me
My heart still misses a beat
I still get a kiss, when we say goodnight
You still leave me on trembling feet.
My heart still misses a beat
I still get a kiss, when we say goodnight
You still leave me on trembling feet.
I still get a thrill, when you call me
I’m still not sure, what to say
I still hope I’m on your mind sometimes
Even if it’s just for the next day
I still catch a smile in your eyes sometimes
That says you still think about me
I still have to pretend, that we’re just good friends
But there’s something else I can see
I still get a thrill, when I see you
No matter the time or the place
I still seem to smile, a little awkward I know
When I still see that look on your face
I still stumble and fall, when I am with you
I still know there’s something not right
I still feel a magic, whenever I see you
Your eyes still light up the night
I still get a thrill, when you’re near me
Your lips still taste like champagne
I still hope I’ll have your love some day
I still thrill at the sound of your name
I still get a thrill, when you touch me
My heart still misses a beat
I still get a kiss, when we say goodnight
You still leave me on trembling feet.
