It isn't  the way that you look
 And it isn't  the way that you talk
 It isn't  the things that you say  or do
 Make me want  you so
 It is nothing to do with the wine
 Or the music that's flooding my mind
 But never before have I been so sure
 You're the someone I dreamed I would find
 It's the way  you make me feel  the moment I  am close to you
 It's a feeling so unreal  somehow I can't  believe it's true
 The pounding  I feel in my heart,  the hoping  that we'll never part
 I can't  believe this is really happening  to me
I  close my eyes  and count to ten
 And when I open  them you're still here
 I close my eyes  and count again
 I can't believe  it but you're still here
 We were strangers a moment ago
 With a few dreams but nothing to show
 The world was a place
 With a frown on its face
 And tomorrow was just, I don't know
 But the way you make me feel the moment I am close to you
 Makes today seem so unreal somehow I can't believe it's true
 Tomorrow will you still be here? Tomorrow will come but I fear
 That what is happening to me is only a dream
 I close my eyes and count to ten...

Readable chord sheet for I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten by Dusty Springfield

[Bbm]It  [Ebm]isn't the way that you [Bbm]look
And it [Ebm]isn't the way that you [Bbm]talk
It [F#]isn't the things that you [Ebm]say or do
Make me [F]want you so[Bbm]

It is nothing to do with the wine
Or the music that's flooding my mind
But never before have I been so sure
You're the someone I dreamed I would find

It's the [Bb]way you make me [Eb]feel the moment [F]I am close to [Bb]you
It's a feeling so un[Eb]real somehow I [F]can't believe it's [D]true
The [Gm]pounding I feel in my [D]heart, the [Eb]hoping that we'll never [Bbmaj7]part
I [B]can't believe this is [F#]really [Ab]happening to [Bb]me

[Bbm]I close my e[Ab]yes and count to [F#]ten
And when I [F]open them you're still [Bbm]here
I close my [Ab]eyes and count a[F#]gain
I can't be[F]lieve it but you're still [Bbm]here

We were strangers a moment ago
With a few dreams but nothing to show
The world was a place
With a frown on its face
And tomorrow was just, I don't know

But the way you make me feel the moment I am close to you
Makes today seem so unreal somehow I can't believe it's true
Tomorrow will you still be here? Tomorrow will come but I fear
That what is happening to me is only a dream

I close my eyes and count to ten...
