Lyrics - Byblos by Chicago

I saw her once before; she didn’t turn me on.
One night she stopped to talk to pass the time.
And then
I saw her eyes; her softly smiling glow,
We sat and talked all night at byblos.
She talked of feelings that
I knew were true.
She painted me a picture using every shade of blue
It was light with laughter, at times it made me cry,
And now
I’ll never know just why
I didn’t ever try to hold her;
To squeeze her; to kiss her all night long,
I never tried to please her.
Then, soon she had to go;
I sat there all alone
And thought of things she said
The whole day through.
And then
I realized,
I never took the time
To find out where she lived
Or where to call.
I thought that
I would see her
The next night,
Anticipating how
I’d set myself right.
Then,
I went back to byblos;
I sat there and waited,
Feeling just a little nervous
And a little frustrated.
Then, soon, in she came, looking just the same
Oo,
I could hardly wait to take her far from the game.
Then a person came in to the club
That
I had to speak to
I explained the situation to her
And
I thought she understood
But
I guess she thought
I was jiving her around
Cause when
I looked for her, this is what
I found
She was rapping with a real good friend of mine,
He was happening,
I guess it was his time.
I really couldn’t blame him, cause he was sad and lonely too.
But just talking to her did me so much good,
I knew she’d do him good too.
Then
I went home and
I got it on,
Sat down to write these words when
I was finally alone.
And then, about halfway through
I wondered if someone knew
Where she was, so
I could give her a call,
And
I found out that she was right down the hall,
Not too far away,
But that’s ok,
I’ll just wait for the day when
I can see her again
And spend some time.
