Lyrics

Look at me,

I’m as help less as a kit ten up a tree

and I feel like I’m cling ing to a cloud.

I can’t un der stand, I get mist y just hold ing your hand.

Walk my way

and a thou sand vi o lins be gin to play,

or it might be the sound of your hel lo, that mu sic I hear, I get mist y the mo ment you’re hand.

Walk my near.

You can say that you’re lead ing me on,

but that’s just what I want you to do.

Don’t you no tice how help less ly I’m lost,

that’s why I’m fol low ing you.

On my own,

would I wan der through this won der land a lone,

nev er know ing my right foot from my left, my hat from my glove?

I’m too mist y and too much in love.
