My Own Version

We have our own favorite songs. Songs that hold a special meaning in our lives. The melody is awesome, you relate to the message in the lyrics but not totally -- because some phrases just don't fit into your feelings. So, you make your own version (hah!) ... just like this one.

I give my hand to you and then I say hello

and you can hardly speak, your heart is beating so

and anyone can tell, I think I know you well... 

but I don't know you

No you don't know the one who dreams of you at night

and longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight

to you I'm just a friend, that's all I've ever been

No I don't know you

I never knew the art of making love

though my heart aches with love for you

afraid and shy, you let your chance go by

a chance that I might love you too

I give my hand to you and then I say goodbye

You watched me walk away beside the lucky guy

oh you'll never know the one who loved you so

No you don't know me

From the song: You Don't Know Me by Ray Charles
