Someone Standing There
At this club I noticed someone standing thereIn a T-shirt and a pair of faded jeansWith stringy brownish shiny longish hairI recognized him immediatelyI used to play his songs when I was back in collegeBack when LPs spun my whole wide world aroundBack when I wasn't smart enough to knowI'd be traveling down that road one dayAnd here he was in the flesh in a club in LAAll my attempts at acting cool went down the toiletAs I fumbled for a way to say helloIt looked like he was leaving and I panickedI didn't want to let this moment goAnd so I stopped himAnd put his hand in mineI looked him straight into those deep sad eyes"You inspired me a long long time ago."He said thanks and he was goneMy seven-second moment there in LA townI never even said my nameThe night that I shook hands From Letras Mania
