Quicksilver

Dick Haymes · Other Songs - Dick Haymes

You're as hard to hold as quicksilver

When you kiss and run away

I dream you're mine and then as quick as quicksilver

All my dreams are led astray

I keep chasing you till I'm facing you

And embracing you with all your charms

Then you slip through my fingers just like quicksilver

Right into someone else's arms

Seems like I am havin' trouble with you

And I don't know what I'm gonna do

Seems like you're fickle, fickle as can be

And your fickle ways have got me up a tree

You're as hard to hold as quicksilver

When you kiss and run away

I dream you're mine and then as quick as quicksilver

All my dreams are led astray

I keep chasing you till I'm facing you

And embracing you with all your charms

Then you slip through my fingers just like quicksilver

Right into someone else's arms

Then you slip through my fingers just like quicksilver

Right into someone else's arms
