Shaking like a Leaf  Every time I speak, I start to stutter  Never felt embarrassment like this  The things I long to say I’ll never utter,  The words I meant are dying on my lips   CHORUS   Shaking like a leaf on a tree   Bending like a branch in the breeze   Every time you’re near me, I freeze   Shaking like a leaf   Suddenly my senses grow numb   I become all fingers and thumbs   I can’t speak, shaking like a leaf, shaking like a leaf    I am feeling sick with the emotion  If only I could speak to tell you how  When you’re near you send my senses reeling  But I could never dare to let you know    CHORUS    these lyrics are submitted by Peter Ashton
