In the morning light she laid there in the grass

She was till dressed in her white homecoming gown

I helped her back to her room

She was cold against my shoulder

I tried not to wake her up as I laid her down

Then I sat there and watched her sleep for a while

I've admired her for so long from far away

If I could hold her in my arms, then maybe she could love me,

If I could only find the words that I want to say



Sullen like a dream that I once had

Made me feel scared and lonely

She'll never know how she got back

What her eyes had shown me

And I close the door and walk away

I close the door and walk away...

But I want to stay...



The leaves below my feet crumbled at my steps

And the sun has risen higher than it was before

I step into my car and I drive for a while

I can't stand the same scenery anymore



I stop along the bridge, and I close my earthly eyes

And I wonder what this world can offer me

Cars they move below me and I seem to realize, and I look

Up at the sky and call her name.



Chorus
