Across the Room

By Mark Lee I can see you from across the room I just can't look away I can think of so many things That I would like to say You are beautiful and gorgeous Its plain for anyone to see I have wished a million times That you were meant for me I know you don't like me And you probably never will But I dream about you every night I never can get my fill I can only wish for one thing And I hope that it will come true I hope that girl will notice me And make me feel brand new I don't have much to offer In fact you can say I'm poor But my love and dedication Will be impossible to ignore So I stand here in this corner With these thoughts all through my head I wish I had the courage To just say these words instead And in the end I'll wonder If it was ever meant to be I wonder why I am all alone For all eternity And so I ask you: why is love For all the other people in the world? Because I know that I would give up everything If you would be my girl!
