Lyrics:
“Whenever You Come Around”
The face of an angel; pretty eyes that shine
I lie awake at night wishing you were mine
I’m standing here holding the biggest heartache in town
Whenever you come aroundI get weak in the knees; and I lose my breath
And I try to speak but the words won’t come
I’m so scared to death
And when you smile that smile the world turns upside down
Whenever you come aroundI feel so helpless; I feel just like a kid
What is it about you that makes me keep my feelings hid
I wish I could tell you, but the words can’t be found
Whenever you come aroundI get weak in the knees; and I lose my breath
Oh I try to speak but the words won’t come
I’m so scared to death
And when you smile that smile the world turns upside down
Whenever you come aroundI get weak in the knees; and I lose my breath
And I try to speak but the words won’t come
I’m so scared to death
And when you smile that smile the world turns upside down
Whenever you come aroundAnd when you smile that smile
The whole world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
Whenever you come around
