Chicago — Byblos Rehearsal

[Intro] One, two One, two, three, four [Verse 1] I saw her once before She didn't turn me on One night she stopped to talk To pass the time And then I saw her eyes Her softly smiling glow We sat and talked all night at Byblos [Verse 2] She talked of feelings that I knew were She painted me a picture using every shade of blue It was light with laughter At times it made me cry And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her To squeeze her I'll never gonna kiss her Never tried to please her [Verse 3] Then, soon she had to go I sat there all alone And thought of things she said The whole day through Then I realized I never took the time To find out where she lived Or where to call [Verse 4] I thought that I would see her the next night Ooh, anticipating how I'd set myself right Then, I went back to Byblos I sat there and waited Feeling just a little nervous, a little frustrated Then, soon, she came Looking just the same Ooh, I could hardly wait to take her Far from the game [Verse 5] Then a lady came in to the club That I had to speak to I explained the situation to her And I thought she understood But I guess that she thought I was jiving her around 'Cause when I looked for her This is what I found [Bridge] She was rapping With a real good friend of mine He was happening I guess it was his time Ooh, I couldn't blame him Because he was sad and lonely too But just talking to her did me so much good I knew she could do him good too [Verse 6] Then I went home and I got it on Sat down to write these words When I was finally alone Then about halfway through I wondered if someone knew Where she was so I could give her a call And I found out that she was right down the hall [Outro] Not too far away But that's okay I'll just wait for the day When I can see her again And spend some time
