Don't Walk Away

Don’t Walk Away


Jimmy was 18 Jenny was the girl he was looking to impress
Watching her dance, looking so fine in her blue prom dress
He had his doubts as he crossed the floor
What if he was not the guy she’s looking for
He turned and slowly walked away
He’d try again another day

Don’t walk away
Let her know that she’s been on your mind
Don’t walk away
All it takes is giving her a sign
Sometimes all you need is to look her in the eye and smile
Don’t walk away

Twenty years later they were both at the Reunion dance
Catching her eye, thinking this might be his one last chance
She said I always had a crush on you
He said, you know I felt the same way too
He thought of what they might have had
Her smile was just a little sad

Don’t walk away
Let her know that she’s been on your mind
Don’t walk away
All it takes is giving her a sign
Sometimes all you need is to look her in the eye and smile
Don’t walk away

Think of we stand to lose each time we hesitate
We could turn a walk away
And miss out on something great
But we’ll never know
Never know

Don’t walk away
Let her know that she’s been on your mind
Don’t walk away
All it takes is giving her a sign
Sometimes all you need is to look her in the eye and smile
Don’t walk away
