I'm Seeing SomeoneI unwrapped my cheese sandwichwatched the picture on my deskthey order out on Fridaysbut I don't eat with the restJoanie brought me some pizzaand pulled my door shutshe asked me out for cocktailsI said I'm sorry butI'm seeing someone, and in the setting sunis where we'll meet tonightwe'll touch hands and share a danceas the day slips from sightsometimes she's late, but I just waitcos she always comesfriends think I stay home and drink alonebut no...I'm seeing someone, I'm seeing someoneback home I checked the mailboxbut nothing was thereI helped Mrs. Clark with her bagsup those narrow stairswe chatted about tvand who got voted off last nightwhen she looked in my sad eyesand said she had a niece I'd likeI said I'm seeing someone, and in the setting sunis where we'll meet tonightwe'll touch hands and share a danceas the day slips from sightsometimes she's late, but I still waitcos she always comesfriends think I stay home and drink alonebut no...I'm seeing someone, I'm seeing someonemy empty room's a cold vacuumthat draws in dreams and memoriesthough she passed on she's not gonecos in darkness she's all I seewhen life fades to blackmaybe faith goes blindbut somewhere in the nightthere's a shining lightthat burned her shadow in my mindand I'm seeing someone, and in the setting sunis where we'll meet tonightwe'll touch hands and share a danceas the day slips from sightsometimes she's late, but I just waitcos she always comesfriends think I stay home and drink alonebut no...I'm seeing someone, I'm seeing someone(c)2005 Robert George
