Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hello, yeah! It's been a while
Not much, how about you?
I'm not sure why I called
I guess I really just wanted to talk to you
[Verse 2]
And I was thinking maybe later on
We could get together for a while
It's been such a long time
And I really do miss your smile
[Chorus]
I'm not talking about moving in
And I don't wanna change your life
But, there's a warm wind blowing the stars around
And I'd really love to see you tonight
[Verse 3]
We could go walking through a windy park
Or take a drive along the beach
Or stay at home and watch TV
You see, it really doesn't matter much to me
[Chorus]
I'm not talking about moving in
And I don't wanna change your life
But, there's a warm wind blowing the stars around
And I'd really love to see you tonight
[Bridge]
I won't ask for promises!
So you don't have to lie?
We've both played that game before:
Say I love you then say goodbye
[Outro]
I'm not talking about moving in
I'm not talking
And I don't wanna change your life
But, there's a warm wind blowing the stars around
And I'd really love to see you tonight
Really love to see you tonight
I'm not talking about moving in
I'm not talking
And I don't wanna change your life
But, there's a warm wind blowing the stars around
And I'd really love to see you tonight
Really love to see you tonight
I'm not talking about moving in
I'm not talking
And I don't wanna change your life
But, there's a warm wind blowing the stars around
And I'd really love to see you tonight
Really love to see....
