Why Can't We Be
Always thinking of you,
Can't get you out of my mind
Maybe because of your beauty,
Someone like you is so hard to find.
I loved you from a distance,
Trying to be near you
That even atthis instance,
All I think is of you.
And I know you are thinking "Is it true"?
This love I feel for you?
You have driven me crazy since we've been apart
These words come straight from my heart.
Yoou know "I love you"
And you know I care
But when ever I'm around
You never seem to be there.
Why is it this way?
Like if our love fades away
Why can't we be
Together for ever Just you and me.
