(play intro riff 2x)

Verse 1:

I can feel a new expression on my face

I can feel a glowing sensation taking place

I can hear the guitars playing lovely tunes

Every time that you walk in the room

(intro riff 2x)

Verse 2:

I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want

Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant

I see a summer's night with a magic moon

Every time that you walk in the room

(intro riff 1x)

Maybe it's a dream come true

Walking right alongside of you

Wish I could tell you how much I care

But I only have the nerve to stare

Verse 3:

I can feel-a something pounding in my brain

Just anytime that someone speaks your name

Trumpets sound and I hear thunder boom

Every time that you walk in the room

Coda:

(intro riff 1x)

Every time that you walk in the room

(intro riff 2x - second time unaccompanied; end on A)
