The Desire I Have For You
I used to watch you from the street
as I passed as often as I could
you never saw-you never looked-
up from your desk-or understood
the desire I have for you
I wanted often to take your hand
hold it tight-could you understand
would you surrender all your love to me
if only I were truly free
the desire I have for you
A lovers kiss-their sweet embrace
I close my eyes you touch my face
like lovers do when sweet song sings
on bended knee-would take my ring
the desire I had for you
So lonely in my life-in love completely
with another's wife-not mine
she couldn't understand-
to love the other of another man
the desire I have for you
I still watch you from the street-
I still pass as often as I can-
you never look-you never can
you could never really understand
the desire I have for you
