With An Idea In View
by Michael Doyle

With an idea in view
I wished for a dream come true
And hope replaced my heartache
That came from my last mistake

Trying my best to figure it out
Taking my best shot at what it's about
Finding it hard under an August moon
That brings kisses like roses in bloom

There it is, an idea in view
It came to me with one look at you
Watching you there as you dance and sway
There's something in the rhythm that the band plays

You looked sweetly like shades of graceful
As we shared kisses so tasteful
It's time to brave the nightfall
As I hear the music quietly call

It's as simple as your tease
And unforgettable as you please
A sonata couldn't feel more right
Here with you under the moonlight

There it is, an idea in view
It came to me with one look at you
Watching you there as you dance and sway
There's something in the rhythm that the band plays

It's hard not to be a fan
But I'd rather be your man
There you are, dancing on the street
That one in a million I've wanted to meet

I have a passion for your art 
As time grabs me by my heart
My fallen guard might make you my queen
With an idea in view, if you know what I mean

There it is, an idea in view
It came to me with one look at you
Watching you there as you dance and sway
There's something in the rhythm that the band plays

You've pulled my life up from moping
And girl, now you've got me hoping
Here under the magic of the moonshine
That you'll fall for me and be mine

You're the girl, I couldn't miss
The only one I want to kiss
Maybe I talk too much like I often do
But I speak my words with an idea in view

There it is, an idea in view
It came to me with one look at you
Watching you there as you dance and sway
There's something in the rhythm that the band plays
