If Only I Knew - Papermoon

I know him well

I’ve seen him hundred times before

Walk through that door

Of course, I know

He gets a coffee to go But he won’t see me at all

I know him well, but I Wish I knew more about him

When he walks there alone

He’s lost in thoughts

I can’t see through his wall

But he won’t notice

He won’t see me at all

If only I knew how to get through to him

I watch him sadly, trying so madly to open his eyes for me But time after time when I watch him go by,

His head in the clouds, I can’t help it, I smile

The More that I want him, the deeper I fall

He doesn’t see me at all

The days go by He disappeared and I Will take my time

And try to forget him

But then again

Thought I was over him

He stands there ordering breakfast and tea

What should I say?

If only I knew how to get through to him

I watch him sadly hoping that maybe he sees me the way I do But time after time he’s walking on by

I can’t help it dying a little inside

The more that I want him the deeper I fall

He doesn’t see me at all

I put my fears for once aside

I go to him just saying «Hi!»

Pretending to be strong but feeling small

And then he smiles and says to me

«I thought you’d never notice me at all …»

«If only I knew how to get through to you

I watched you sadly, hoping that maybe you’d see me the way I do But time after time when I saw you in here

I felt so attracted I wanted you near

The more that I’d want you the deeper I’d fall

I thought you don’t see me at all

If only I knew, If only I knew

The more that I’d want you the deeper I’d fall

I thought you don’t see me at all"
