Turn around, every
now and then
        C
I get a little bit
nervous that the best of all the years have gone by.

now and then

terrified and then I see the look in your eyes.

Bb
Turn around, bright
eyes, every now and then I fall apart.
Turn around, bright
eyes, every now and then I fall apart.
 
Turn around, every
now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild.
Turn around, every
now and then
I get a little bit
helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms.
Turn around, every
now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry.
Turn around, every
now and then
I get a little bit
terrified but then I see the look in your eyes.
Turn around, bright
eyes, every now and then I fall apart.
Turn around, bright
eyes, every now and then I fall apart.
