Higgins, Missy - Around You Lyrics






The only time we've ever danced
Was in my dream the other night
Your hands were rough yet, soft enough
And you wore me, like cotton cloth

The room we danced in, knew no time
Life's only measure within your eyes
And a silent love flew, while hovering
Tiny birds sang perfectly

All around you
All around you, what a nice night
Around you, I stayed

I don't think you saw me
Nor I you
'Cause looks were of another time
Realm and Shallow view

We just tiptoed gently from side to side
And let weightless rhythm be our guide

All around you
All around you, what a nice night
Around you, I stay

'Cause around you I found out, you act as steel
The sky turns into ground, or things get too real
Around me oh oh oh...

All around you, what a nice night
Around you, I stay

And when the world came, tumbling in
And morning light shined on tired skin
I took a second before I began to grin
As I remember, I had just been

All around you

    One of the great things about British audiences (as opposed to US) are that the Brits really focus on the music, especially when it comes to women performers. Doesn't really apply to Missy I suppose, but I really wanted to say it somewhere. This is one reason why many Americans are more successful abroad than in the US, Mary Gauthier would be a good example.

    I hear " 'Cause around you I found out that you like to steal ..." Thanks for the lyrics.

    A really nice song!

    I always enjoy it when it pops up in my player. It is so sad that it never was included in any of her albums.

    Thanks to Missy and also to those who made the effort to record it live.

    its not a cover, just one of a bunch of songs that never got put on any album or was ever released. she just got tired of it i guess.
