Olivia (I'm Listening) Lyrics

(Ami Ozaki, English lyric Ralph McCarthy)

Olivia, come over here
Something's wrong, at least that much is clear
Didn't we say we'd be honest with each other?
I feel for you, but I can't read your mind

You say you don't want to talk
You just sip your jasmine tea and sigh
We may be tempted just to close our eyes
But we both know love isn't blind

  *   Baby, don't turn away
      Tell me face to face
      Is it something that said or didn't say?
      Making good things better
      Isn't that what love's about?
      It won't work if we don't work it out

 **   Maybe I haven't been
      The most sensitive of men
      But I'm listening now, Olivia

Last night as you lay asleep
I couldn't help but wonder what you dreamed
You whispered "yes," and softly through the curtain
The moonlight fell upon you like a veil

My love for you is so deep
And though I try to find the words, I always fail
Without your love I'd drift with no direction
Just like a ship, a ship without a sail

* **  Repeat

*     Repeat

      Oh, maybe I haven't been
      Much of a lover or a friend
      But I'm listening now, Olivia...
