You Don'T Know Me
A million whispered moments pass
as I watch you glide through the crowd,
your measured steps so gracefully danced,
a coy kiss placed upon my cheek,
as you spin in place with each movement.
But it's just another whispered moment,
one in a million, lost in a breath.
A love from a distance, from another place.
You don't even know me.
Upon your chest, I lay my head,
your beating heart sings poetry,
my eyes upon your moving lips
as hushed breath hints rumors of you and me.
It's just another moment.
And it's just another whispered moment,
one in a million, lost in a breath.
A love from a distance, from another place.
You don't even know me.
I can't go on living this dream
I'd give my life if you could just see me.
But it's just another whispered moment,
one in a million, lost in a breath.
You don't even know me.
As the crowd thins, you move away,
like a mist that fills me you simply fade,
leaving me to await another day.
The moments passed yet you linger on
to haunt me.
And it's just another whispered moment,
one in a million, lost in a breath.
I can't go on living this dream
I'd give my life if you could just see me.
But it's just another whispered moment,
one in a million, lost in a breath.
A love from a distance, from another place.
You don't even know me.
