G
I was caught up in your brown eyes

Lookin’ up at the blue skies

They don’t make ’em quite like you

Cinnamon skin in the sunshine
G
Stop time in the moonlight
C
Really made me feel like

Like I could fall for you

You were pickin’ flowers on a side road. Leanin’ back on a fence post

Couldn’t help but notice

Blinked twice and I missed it
