Wandering Eye

Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart

Is it cheating if you call me your man

I'm retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye

And pretending not to know you're there.

I imagine the sound of your voice

I imagine the smell of your skin

I imagine me with you the way that he is

And wonder how it would have been

In the morning the tears on my pillow

Will dry in the sun in my room

And they'll go off to heaven but I'll stay down here

Far from you as the Earth and the moon

Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart

Is it cheating if you call me your man

I'm receiving wayward glances from your wandering eye

And pretending not to know you care.

Many years go by while we keep blinking eyes

Making promises and keeping a few

I try to call I try to write

But that one single night was the one night I could have had you

Come dance beside me

Grab your partner and I'll grab mine

Hold him close in your sweet arms

And think of me darling tonight

With this ring on my finger I was promised away

With this ring I was chained to a cell

So I sing of a sweetheart gone so many yesterdays

So I sing through this singular hell.

Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart

Is it cheating if you call me your man

I'm retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye

And pretending not to know you're there.

Yeah I'm retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye

And pretending not to know you care.
