A Love So Special

Like a kid in a toy store window

I stand here and I dream

Like a dream that never happens

It's larger than it seems

And like the stars in the night sky

Shining bright beyond my touch

I reach out to you my love

But it all seems too much

So I stand here in the shadows

In silence and in fear

Knowing that forever

You will always be there

Outside of the garden

Of your love and care

I see the flowers blooming

I smell the fragrant air

But I know now and forever

A smile is all that will be

For a love so special

Was never meant for me

Like a wish from a fountain

You know will never come true

Or a full moon on the horizon

A wish for me and you

But wishes are for dreamers

It's in the real world I stand

And accept now and forever

I will never be your man

So I stand here in the shadows

In silence and in fear

Knowing that forever

You will always be there

Outside of the garden

Of your love and care

I see the flowers blooming

I smell the fragrant air

But I know now and forever

A smile is all that will be

For a love so special

Was never meant for me
