Remember when I saw you the first time
I can't explain what happened in my mind
You stole my heart without even knowing your name
Hazel eyes that would shine through the dark night
An angel's smile would make it feel alright
To want someone who, never would feel the same
So, tell me how many letters are written in your name
I know the years are long between us
I'm holding on to all that I've lost
Watching a life unlived running through my head
If only I knew the right words to say then
Maybe I'd have a chance to take instead
I'm looking around to find a truth
Lying somewhere between me and you
Frozen here in a moment that's not mine
I wonder if you thought of me that night
Though I really know that I never crossed your mind
I can't let go, though I know that it's not right
Hoping now, it's you in the next life
When I hold your hand knowing you feel the same
So, tell me how many letters are written in your name
I know the years are long between us
I'm holding on to all that I've lost
Watching a life unlived running through my head
If only I knew the right words to say then
Maybe I'd have a chance to take instead
I'm looking around to find a truth
Lying somewhere between me and you
If only I had the chance to be
The man you're seeing in your dreams
Still I know that he's not me
So I'll just watch from across the room
Dream a dream I dream of you
Until you fade away
I know the years are long between us
I'm holding on to all that I've lost
Watching a life unlived running through my head
If only I knew the right words to say then
Maybe I'd have a chance to take instead
I'm looking around to find the truth
Lying somewhere between me and you
