I was around, but you didn't notice me back thenI was the bright eyed boy that watched youAnd wondered how it would have beenTo hold your hand, to touch the freckles on your skinI'da give up everything I had to take a walk with you back thenWe were only kidsAh, but you were two years over meSo I tried to grow up fast to catch youSo you would never want to leaveSeems I was always on the outside looking inYou were the diamond girl and when you walked byI was nothing but a grinOh, in the quiet of nightI'd lie awake and follow starsI'd see your bedroom lightAll the way across the parkOh, then I'd dream you in my arms 'til dawnI watched you grow into a woman of the worldI saw you pack your car and drive awaySo you could be a college girlI waited long for you to come home holidaysOh, I knew I'd surely dieIf I ever saw a lover's arm around you waistSongtexteOh, in the quiet of nightI'd lie awake and follow starsI'd see your bedroom lightAll the way across the parkOh, then I'd dream you in my arms 'til dawnSome things you never sayYou always think you will one dayThe secret that I keptThe valentine you never even readI thought I saw you in the market yesterdayYou had a basket full of childrenAnd a look that said that you'd had better daysI caught your eyeAnd saw that you remembered meOh, when your face lit upYou looked exactly like you still were seventeenOh, in the quiet of nightI'd lie awake and follow starsI'd see your bedroom lightAll the way across the parkOh, then I'd dream you in my arms 'til dawnSome things you never sayYou always think you will one dayThe secret that I keptThe valentine you never even readSome things you never sayI always thought I would one dayThe secret that I keptThe valentine I never even sent Aus Songtexte Mania
