From the recording The Waiting Game
Swing - This delightful change of pace track features Paul Glasse on electric mandolin, Dan Torosian on clarinet, Floyd Domino on piano, Rick Richards on drums, Rich Brotherton on bass & acoustic guitar. Rich had the vision for this one - jazz fills and leads dancing around my vocal, for a bit of uptown supper club swing.
Lyrics
JUST FRIENDS, THAT’S ALL
Louise Kirchen
IF I’D MET YOU BEFORE YOU CAN BET I’D ADORE YOU
BUT I’M UP AGAINST THE WALL
YOU HAVE SOMEONE WHO’S WAITING FOR YOU
AND COUNTING ON YOU TO CALL
DON’T TELL ME I’M DREAMING I’VE KNOWN FAR TOO LONG
NOW IT’S SUDDENLY SEEMING THAT YOU’RE DREAMING ALONG
I MAY BE A FOOL TO PLAY BY THE RULES
BUT WE CAN BE FRIENDS THAT’S ALL
YOU’RE LOOKING GOOD LIKE TEMPTATION SHOULD
SOMETIMES IT’S SO HARD TO RECALL
BUT I’M NOT UNAWARE YOU HAVE SOMEONE WHO CARES
AS MUCH AS I’D LOVE TO FALL
MY IMAGINATION KEEPS WORKING OVERTIME
WITH NO COMPENSATION BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT MINE
SO I’LL LET IT GO THOUGH A HINT OF REGRET MAY SHOW
AND WE CAN BE FRIENDS THAT’S ALL
MY IMAGINATION KEEPS WORKING OVERTIME
WITH NO COMPENSATION BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT MINE
SO I’LL LET IT GO THOUGH A HINT OF REGRET MAY SHOW
FOR WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN MY HEART WILL MEND
AND WE CAN BE FRIENDS THAT’S ALL
