Out Of Reach
I watched you always from afar your smile etched on my mind
Your walk, your voice your thoughts of me my love was never blind
I dared to walk beside you once, I dared to call your name,
But you just saw another guy and never felt the same.
I tried to be the best in all the things that life has thrown
While you had been with other guys I waited all alone.
I shared the tears along with you when they had left your side
But there was nothing I could do the feelings I would hide.
If I had been a man as such, I should have let you know
And told you just the way I felt and never let you go,
Instead I watched in silence, then to my eternal shame
As you were hurt so many times by this the loving game.
The years have past the song is sung, I wonder what we missed
If I had been a different man and we had only kissed.
