Danny Boy
Well Danny, boy you've got me beat
I keep thinking that you really care
You hug me softly, take my hands
And send these butterflies in the air
You've heard my stories over again
Of failures and mishaps and pain
You tell me that you're different though
And invite me to sing in the rain
Danny boy, you stop my heart
Those eight minutes we talk each day
I wake up waiting for that bell
That'll signal you walking my way
And I can't look when you're coming close
I'm afraid that I'll forget to breathe
Every day it gets worse for me
And I wish the butterflies would leave
Danny, you're playing with my head
And I wish that you could see
I hide my feelings for my best friend
But It's taking all of me
