I ain’t been on earth long enough
To know love
But I do know my heart is sensitive
To your touch
All it takes is one look
In my direction
And all I get from holding back
Is resurrected affection
Too many times I was caught alone
Squirming in a corner to your song
Letting the melody envelope me
Standing by staring through a naked eye
Wishing deep inside that you were mine
And all that I can see
All that I can see
Is two beautiful eyes staring into mine
And then they turn away,
But they leave a smile from heaven behind
All that I can see is someone
More radiant than radiant
Yet I can never say anything
When you get near me,
There’s like a shifting in my knees
And my heart beats like a love song
We were once the best of friends,
Then I began to want to be your man
Maybe that’s where I went wrong
I probably should have said something
About all of that joy you bring
To my very soul
I don’t know why my lips wouldn’t part
Whenever I tried to open up my heart
I never wanted to end up alone
All that I can see is pictures
Of you and I around my empty room
And when I saw you as a bride,
It is painful knowing I’ll never be your groom
I should have spoken then
Now I must forever hold my peace
All I see now is someone by your side
And I wish that someone was me
