gardenia
Didn't know what I was missing 'Til I caught sight of you Melt down my ammunition I willingly diffuse And you're something else Keeping my head out of my head I curse my old familiar way Of bracing for the weather On a perfectly clear day And you're something else, something else Gardenia, out of my reach Gardenia, why'd you have to open yourself to me? My hour of temporary blindness Stunned like a sleepwalk slapped awake Wrestling my leaning to define this Learning to live with extra space And you're something else, something else Gardenia, out of my reach Gardenia, why'd you have to open yourself to me? And there is no word grand enough For this extraordinary love that has overcome Didn't know what I was missing 'Til I caught sight of you Now everything looks different So wonderfully different, different Gardenia, out of my reach, yeah Gardenia, why'd you have to open yourself to me? Why'd you have to open yourself to me? Oh yeah! Gardenia
