Dusty Springfield - I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten

i close my eyes and count to ten

A#m D#m A#m
it isn’t the way that you look
D#m A#m
and it isn’t the way that you talk
F# D#m
it isn’t the things that you say or do
F A#m
make me want you so

it is nothing to do with the wine
or the music that’s flooding my mind
but never before have i been so sure
you’re the someone i dreamed i would find

A# D# F A#
it’s the way you make me feel the moment i Am close to you
D# F D
it’s a feeling so unreal somehow i can’t believe it’s true
Gm D D# A#maj7
the pounding i feel in my heart , the hoping that we’ll never part
B F# G# A#
i can’t believe this is really happening to me

A#m G# F#
i close my eyes and count to ten
F A#m
and when i open them you’re still here
G# F#
i close my eyes and count again
F A#m
i can’t believe it but you’re still here

we were strangers a moment ago
with a few dreams but nothing to show
the world was a place
with a frown on its face
and tomorrow was just , i don’t know

but the way you make me feel the moment i Am close to you
makes today seem so unreal somehow i can’t believe it’s true
tomorrow will you still be here? tomorrow will come but i fear
that what is happening to me is only a dream

i close my eyes and count to ten . . .
