Although I understand I can do nothing
To change the mistakes I've made
I hope when you read this you'll realize the truth
In what I'm about to say.
I'm not going to try to cover it up
Like many other people will do --
Instead I'll tell you I'm honest in saying
That all I want is you.
So many nights I've lain sleepless in bed
Meditating on your face
But I just can't face up to the fact
That in reality I've lost the race.
I doubt I could live without you around,
You mean the whole world to me --
If I could go anywhere on Earth
In your arms is where I'd want to be.
Too many tears have streamed down my face
To not let you know how I feel
At times it seems this whole thing is a dream
Until I remember. . . it's real.
I wish there was some way I could prove to you
How special I think you are
I'm tired of keeping these feelings inside --
It's gone way too far.
Never have I felt what I'm feeling right now --
You've put me in a trance
I promise I won't make you regret it
If you give me just half a chance.
I really don't think you fully understand
How much I care for you
But for some reason I get the feeling
That there's nothing I can really do.
I wouldn't think twice about giving my life
Just to keep you from harm
You're so much more perfect than I'll ever be --
Your voice, your smile, your charm.
You're all I ever think of anymore
When I hope or dream or cry
Countless times I've been thinking of you
Wishing I could die.
You don't understand how you've changed my life
I'll never be the same
You're more precious to me than all the money in the world
All the glory or power or fame.
I'd gladly give every single thing I own
Just to prove how much I care --
I'll never find anyone as perfect as you
You're far beyond compare.
There's really nothing else I can do
I guess this is the end
But before I stop I want to tell you
That you're an incredible friend.
I only have one more thing to say
That I really want you to know --
You'll always be an angel in my eyes
No matter where you go.
But no matter what people think of you --
If you're feeling lonely and sad,
Or if you can't think of any reason to live
And life is terribly bad
Or if you feel like you can't go on
Just remember that what I'm saying is true:
I don't care at all what happens, --
I'll still love you.
