《Byblos(Rehearsal)》歌词

[00:00:00] Byblos(LP Version) - Chicago

[00:00:18] I saw her once before; she didn't turn me on

[00:00:25] One night she stopped to talk to pass the time

[00:00:33] And then I saw her eyes;

[00:00:37] Her softly smiling glow

[00:00:41] We sat and talked all night at Byblos

[00:00:49] She talked of feelings that I knew were true

[00:00:56] She painted me a picture using ev'ry shade of blue

[00:01:03] It was light with laughter

[00:01:07] At times it made me cry

[00:01:11] And now I'll never know just

[00:01:15] Why I didn't ever try to hold her;

[00:01:22] To squeeze her; to kiss her all night long

[00:01:30] I never tried to please her

[00:01:35] Then soon she had to go;

[00:01:38] I sat there all alone

[00:01:42] And thought of things she said

[00:01:44] The whole day through

[00:01:49] And then I realized

[00:01:53] I never took the time

[00:01:57] To find out where she lived

[00:01:59] Or where to call

[00:02:05] I thought that I would see

[00:02:07] Her the next night

[00:02:12] Anticipating how I'd set myself right

[00:02:18] Then I went back to Byblos;

[00:02:23] I sat there and waited

[00:02:27] Feeling just a little nervous

[00:02:30] And a little frustrated

[00:02:34] Then soon in she came

[00:02:38] Looking just the same

[00:02:42] Oo I could hardly wait

[00:02:44] To take her far from the game

[00:03:15] Then a person came in to the club

[00:03:22] That I had to speak to

[00:03:29] I explained the situation to her

[00:03:37] And i thought she understood

[00:03:44] But I guess she thought I was jiving her around

[00:03:52] Cause when I looked for her this is what I found

[00:03:58] She was rapping with a real good friend of mine

[00:04:07] He was happening I guess it was his time

[00:04:14] I really couldn't blame him

[00:04:17] Cause he was sad and lonely too

[00:04:21] But just talking to her did me so much good

[00:04:25] I knew she'd do him good too

[00:04:30] Then I went home and I got it on

[00:04:36] Sat down to write these words

[00:04:39] When I was finally alone

[00:04:43] And then about halfway through

[00:04:47] I wondered if someone knew

[00:04:51] Where she was so I could give her a call

[00:04:54] And I found out that

[00:04:55] She was right down the hall

[00:05:07] Not too far away

[00:05:13] But that's ok I'll just wait

[00:05:18] For the day when I can see

[00:05:23] Her again and spend some time
