Analysis of Ordinary Man Special
Ordinary Man Special
As if out of nowhere or a dream
You glance my way and smile
Saying hello in a whisper
Loud enough my eyes
Heard what my heart
Finally wanted to hear.
As you walk by I watch you
Your fine feminine form
Moves like slow water
Dancing as twin fountains
A dream of waking desire
Where I want to swim.
As the moment moves on I see
A soul acknowledge me
And made me feel I mattered
Just one look was all it took
For beauty to make handsome
This ordinary man special.
