from "Stagepass", 1977, Epic Records


No, you don't know me well
and I wonder if you can tell
just how good you look to me
I don't know the words to say
and they come out so awkwardly
but I have to speak my mind...


(CHORUS:)
Wouldn't you like to stay tonight
Waste a little time on me...
We can pretend that we're old friends
wouldn't be so hard to believe
And wouldn't you like
to waste a little time on me?


I can't ask to be the first
and I won't ask to be the last
We're both old enough to know
we can leave it all at this
but there's so much that we might miss
We'll never miss being alone


(CHORUS)


Maybe you'll choose to pass
but it can't hurt to ask
and maybe...you'll say yes...


(CHORUS)
