Black Guitar

"Black Guitar" by Phetkhanya

I’m attracted to every part of you;
your kind eyes, cute smile to boot.
And even from across the room
your grace shines through.
I don’t know what to do or say,
so with this black guitar
I’mma try to relay
thoughts so immaculate,
so fervent and innate.
I’ve composed this melody
to honestly convey
the sum of these feelings
ever since the first day
I saw you, but you don’t see me.
Baby girl, listen to this carefully.

I don’t know what to say to you --
your kind eyes, cute smile to boot.
Beautiful from petal to root;
you’re everything I want,
but you don’t see me.
You don’t see,
but I see you.
Oh I, I see you.

Chorus:
Baby girl, I’mma make you come around
and see me in your light
with this black guitar.
Baby girl, I’mma make you come around
and see me
every night in your dreams
until the day you
come around to me.
Come around.

I’m at a loss for words;
tongue tied but still assured
about how things will play out
but it’s either now or never.
Cause you don’t see me.

You don’t see,
but I see you.
Oh I, I see you.

(Chorus)

I’mma make you come around
in a way that’s immensely more profound
than any sound any man has ever professed.
How I feel goes beyond what words can express
and the heavens can attest to that fact.
Look, listen, won’t you take grasp
on this bid for romance from this honest lad?
Entertain the notion is all I ask
cause in the past you’ve overlooked me.
Baby girl, this time you’ll see.

It’s hard for me to see you
so close and yet so far.
How I’m I so invisible.
I’mma change all that.

(Chorus)
