Nearly in love

Richard Thompson


Love makes people so blind 
That's why I can't make up my mind 
If you stop me dead in my tracks 
Or you just paper over the cracks 

You're the one I've wanted so long 
But then again I might be wrong 
Now you look just right in the pale moonlight 
But let me turn the headlights on 

'Cause I'm nearly in love 
I'm nearly in love 
I'm almost aware of walking on air 
Yes, I'm nearly in love 

I'm nearly in love 
I'm nearly in love 
I wish I was really, I'd love to dearly 
But I'm nearly in love 

I don't want to cause you doubt 
But I'm really checking you out 
You're the closest to my heart bar none 
Except for my wallet and my gun 

I never felt like this before 
That's why I want to make quite sure 
That it's not just a dose of the 'flu 
That gives me the chills for you 

I'm nearly in love 
I'm nearly in love 
I'm almost aware of walking on air 
Yes I'm nearly in love 

I'm nearly in love 
I'm nearly in love 
I wish I was really, I'd love to dearly 
But I'm nearly in love 

I reserve the right to love you 
After all I'm the first in line 
I'm not one for shout and screaming 
Mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine 

I'm nearly in love 
I'm nearly in love 
I'm almost aware of walking on air 
Yes I'm nearly in love 

I'm nearly in love 
I'm nearly in love 
I wish I was really, I'd love to dearly 
But I'm nearly in love
