Watching Her



another day
you're sitting there
always like
the day before
the way your face
alights my life
surounded by
your laughing friends
your eyebrows rise
and your eyes shine
your smile widens
i wish you were mine
all day i dreamed
to be with you
to see your face
made me live again

entire year of my high school and all i see is you
you came down like an angel down from heav'n to my life
just the way your smiling lips and eyes brightened my day
looking forward always to that lonely english class

what was it
about this girl
that made me think
of only her
oh how i miss
those easy days
of high school where
this captured my day
those careless days
when i could spend
all of my time
dreaming of her
just watching her
across the room
but to have her
i'd never know

entire year of my high school and all i see is you
you came down like an angel down from heav'n to my life
just the way your smiling lips and eyes brightened my day
looking forward always to that lonely english class

but long ago
this all was done
she has become
a fading dream
a dream that will
always remain
a part of my
short high school past
never will i
see her again
but always she
will be the one
the one that i
could only see
and never got
to really know

entire year of my high school and all i see is you
you came down like an angel down from heav'n to my life
just the way your smiling lips and eyes brightened my day
looking forward always to that lonely english class
