Denise by Howard Ivans Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's been a while since I've met somebody new
You've got your world baby, and I've got mine too
I've got valleys in my heart
You've got the sunset in your arms
Frame it, display it, something Renoir would've painted
I haven't felt this way since

[Chorus]
When I first saw Denise I forgot to breathe, then passed out
My blood would beat to the TV screen and her smile
You can call it defeat, she was too good for me by a mile
And with you next to me, if she could only see me now

[Verse 2]
I wanna fall into the black mess of your hair
Wasting our words, just lying here
In the room that makes the rain
Cherry blossoms on your face
This moment together may not go on forever
At least the darkness is starting to fade
[Chorus]
When I first saw Denise I forgot to breathe, then passed out
My blood started to beat, and the world looked brighter somehow
I'd call it defeat, but it makes no difference right now
Cause with you next to me, if she could only see me now

[Bridge]

[Chorus]
When I first saw your face I forgot to breathe, then passed out
My blood, it beats to the silhouette of your smile
It's plain to see, you're too good for me by miles and miles and miles
And with you next to me, wish she could only see me now
