I was around, but you didn't notice me back
then
You were the diamond girl that walked by
And I was nothing but a grin
We were only kids, ah but you were two years over me
So I tried to grow up fast to catch you
So you would never want to leave
I watched you grow to be a woman of the world
I saw you pack your car and drive away
So you could be a college girl
I waited long for you to come home holidays
I knew I'd surely die if I ever say a lover's arm around your waist
Oh, in the quiet of night I'd lie awake
and follow stars
I'd see your bedroom light all the way across the park
Oh, then I'd dream you in my arms 'til dawn
I thought I saw you in the market yesterday
You had a basket full of children
And a look that said that you'd had better days
I caught your eye, I saw that you remembered me
Oh when your face lit up you looked exactly like you still were
seventeen
When in the quiet of night I'd lie awake
and follow stars
I'd see your bedroom light all the way across the park
Oh, then I'd dream you in my arms 'til dawn
Some things you never say, you always think
you will one day
The secret that I kept, the Valentine I never even sent
No, I never even sent it
