Having a man sing this song without changing “girl” to boy is so heartwarming. This song helped me so much growing up deal with being gay, “I knew at a very young age” and the fact that boys I liked, were interested in girls, I could play this song and almost feel like it was relating to my situation, like a voice out there saying your not alone. Anyways (awkward young days of love) aside. Wonderful cover and beautiful voice. Thank you so much for your rendition
Hands touch, eyes meet Sudden silence, sudden heat Hearts leap in a giddy whirl He could be that boy But I'm not that girl Don't dream too far Don't lose sight of who you are Don't remember that rush of joy He could be that boy I'm not that girl Every so often we long to steal To the land of what-might-have-been But that doesn't soften the ache we feel When reality sets back in Blithe smile, lithe limb She who's winsome, she wins him Gold hair with a gentle curl That's the girl he chose And Heaven knows I'm not that girl Don't wish, don't start Wishing only wounds the heart I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl There's a girl I know He loves her so I'm not that girl
