So Close Yet Out of Reach
Across the room her face shines bright
while talking with her friends;
her presence fills me with delight
with beauty that transcends.
She caught my eye right from the start,
but feelings that I can’t impart.
She caught my eye…
she caught my eye
but knows not what is in my heart.
Across the room her face shines bright
as feelings I conceal;
she thinks me as a friend alright
not knowing how I feel.
I’m just a friend; we talk of life;
our busy lives so full and rife.
I’m just a friend…
I’m just a friend
which fills my very soul with strife.
Across the room her face shines bright
so close yet out of reach;
to woo her just would not be right,
and love would be a breach.
To someone else her life belongs,
and I will not commit these wrongs.
To someone else…
to someone else
she walks away; I sing sad songs.
