Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Look at me

I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree

And I feel like l'm clinging to a cloud

I can't understand

I get misty, just holding your hand

[Verse 2]

Walk my way

And a thousand violins begin to play

Or it might be the sound of your hello

That music I hear

I get misty, the moment you're near

[Verse 3]

Can't you see that you're leading me on?

And it's just what I want you to do

Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost

That's why I'm following you

[Verse 4]

On my own

When I wander through this wonderland alone

Never knowing my right foot from my left

My hat from my glove

I'm too misty, and too much in love

[Verse 5]

Too misty

And too much

In love
