lyrics

you tell me I will have to wait
have to wait my turn before you can see me
you point to all the evidence
make appeals to common sense but they don't mean
too much to me
I can't wait forever now
though my time is worth nothing at all
you could make it so much better now
with a kind word to break my fall

how can I make you see
just what you mean to me
how can I make you see
all the love inside of me

I would die to see you wake up
with the morning sun
I would cry tears of joy
if you told me that I was the only one

when I first laid eyes on you
I could tell that you could never be mine
I tried hard not to stare at you
but you could make the moon refuse to shine

how can I make you see
how much you mean to me
how can I make you see
what a single word would mean to me

I would die to see you wake up
with the morning sun
I would cry tears of joy
if you told me that I was the only one
