That Girl
Captivated Dreams: Christopher Cross's Enchanting Muse
Lyrics
I'm wakin' up in the same old way
I wake up in the same routine
But I can't shake me out of the dream
Unable to escape the dreamlike state
Every time that I close my eyes
Whenever I close my eyes
I see her face
I visualize her face
Like a star on a TV screen
Her presence is prominent, like a star on TV
They all keep askin'
Others inquire about my whereabouts after dark
'Where you been?' after dark
I respond
I say
Describing her as a special kind of girl
That kinda girl
She captures the heart
She grows on a heart
Acknowledging she is exceptional
And I know
Expressing the unparalleled nature of her
It doesn't come any better
Indicating it doesn't get any better than her
That girl
Referring to her as "that girl"
She makes me sing
She brings joy and inspires singing
She gives me things that only love can bring
She provides love's unique gifts
That girl
Reiterating the impact of "that girl"
She makes me sing
Continuing to emphasize her positive influence
If you think
Addressing perceptions of losing composure
I'm losin' my cool
Admitting the truth about the emotional impact
That's true
Speculating that others would feel the same
But I bet ya'd do the same
Referencing the intensity of her passion
If you felt the flame
Her fiery nature
Of her fire
She enjoys making people passionately in love
She likes to make you
Allowing her to have that effect
Crazy with love
Acknowledging the unparalleled nature of her
And I let her
Observing others' reactions as she passes by
I know it doesn't come any better
Confirming her attractiveness
I watch the guys
Noting the attention from other guys
I see their eyes
Witnessing the impact of her presence
I see their eyes as she walks by
Seeing the admiration in their eyes
She knows she's fine
Acknowledging her beauty
I know she's mine
Asserting her exclusivity
'C-c-cause she digs me
Highlighting her attraction towards the speaker
