If Only She'd Looked My Way Lyrics
Frank Sinatra
Lyrics
If only she'd look my way
Just stop to say a word of greeting
This let's-pretend would end there and then
The very moment when my heart stopped beating
If only she'd turn to smile
That little while, however fleeting
Would always seem a dream to dream today
If only she'd look my way
If only she'd turn to smile
That little while, however fleeting
Would always seem a dream to dream today
If only she'd look my way
