Hands touch, eyes meet

G C

Sudden silence, sudden heat

Hearts leap in a giddy whirl

G C

He could be that boy

Am

But I’m not that girl

Chorus

Ev’ry so often we long to steal

To the land of what-might-have-been

When reality sets back in

Blithe smile, lithe limb

And heaven knows

C

I’m not that girl

I’m not that girl
