Take Five

Paul Desmond

Won't you stop and take a little time out with me, just take five
Stop your busy day and take the time out to see I'm alive

Though I`m going out of my way
Just so I can pass by each day
Not a single word do we say
It`s a pantomime and not a play

Still I know our eyes often meet
I feel tingles down to my feet
When you smile that's much too discrete
Sends me on my way

Wouldn't it be better not to be so polite, you could offer a light
Start a little conversation now, it's alright, just take five, just take five

Though I`m going out of my way
Just so I can pass by each day
Not a single word do we say
It`s a pantomime and not a play

Still I know our eyes often meet
I feel tingles down to my feet
When you smile that's much too discrete
Sends me on my way

Wouldn't it be better not to be so polite, you could offer a light
Start a little conversation now, it's alright, just take five, just take five
