I Saw You |
| by Jodie Scheitel |
I saw you last night
With a girl
In your car.
Did you see me?
I wonder
Did you see?
She was beautiful -
Long, straight blonde hair
Thin, beautiful.
As I stared into your car,
Your eyes fixed on her,
I prayed.
I prayed
God would make a switch -
Replace her with me.
Did you see me?
I wonder,
Did you see?
I knew, though,
That God
Would not answer that prayer.
I was not alone.
I wished I was;
I wished he would go away.
Did you see me?
I wonder
Did you see?
As the light turned green
I took another look;
I laughed uneasily.
I wished again
For God to make a switch;
To replace her with me.
Did you see me?
I wonder
Did you see?
I wished you would look at me
The way you looked at her;
I wished you still loved me.
I wished you would touch me
The way you touched her;
I wished you still loved me.
Did you see me?
I wonder
Did you see?
I know now -
I guess I've always known;
It's over.
I'll never feel your love;
I'll never feel your touch;
I'll never hold you in my arms
The way I want to so much.
So, again I wonder
As I sit here all alone,
Did you see me?
I wonder
Did you see?
