about

Probably the first song Craig wrote, or at least the first he remembers finishing. Originally a 4/4 tune, again it got turned around into a waltz for this album.

lyrics

Circle of Love
©1983 Craig Evans (BMI)
all rights reserved

I try to call you up, but I never catch you by yourself
You've always got so many fans around you
There's no room for anyone else
You've got boyfriends, girlfriends, everybody loves you
I don't stand a chance
There's oh so many secret admirers
And no room for real romance

Will you let me in to that circle of love that surrounds you?
Will your old group of friends get upset if I just hang around you?
I'm not asking too much, you know
I just want to be a part of your show
In the center ring of your circle of love

You say that I'm your friend, but that's not where I want it to end
I'd get lost in the many faces
I'd become one of many cases
Of "Hi, how are you, Glad to see you made it",
And then you walk away
I can't stand such a 2–D relationship
I want more than all your slaves

Will you let me in to that circle of love that surrounds you?
Will your old group of friends get upset if I just hang around you?
I'm not asking too much, you know
I just want to be a part of your show
In the center ring of your circle of love

It seems I've tried so long, but I must still be doing it wrong
Got no time for outside chances
I can’t step to your funny dances
It won't be long 'til you start to realize
I was right all the time
I only hope when you realign your eyes
That I'll still be alive

Will you let me in to that circle of love that surrounds you?
Will your old group of friends get upset if I just hang around you?
I'm not asking too much, you know
I just want to be a part of your show
In the center ring of your circle of love
