about

Just another unrequited love song...

lyrics

I was waiting for you
I guess I could say that now
It didn’t really matter how long it took
I’d have waited anyhow

I was walking through the garden
When I saw you sitting there
And though I’ve seen some pretty girls
None of them could compare

You brushed your hand across your face
And concentrated on the lines
Inked on the book upon your lap
Til your eyes met with mine
For a short time
For a short time

But you’ll never be mine
You’ll never be mine
Just a moment in a day
Your eyes fell back to your book
I didn’t know what to say

You’ll never be mine
You’ll never be mine
As the moment slips away
A beautiful illusion and nothing more
It’s best to think that way
