What do you need?
You can tell me
Somehow it shows
I think you need love

I know you're alone
It hides you like a cloud
You trudged along so sadly
And I'll tell you, I love you

I love you as I love the sun
It's something to be cherished
But can't be returned
And your meek smiles, they made me smile too

So preserved, everything you own
You must care for it so
You don't have much to lose
I don't want to lose you

You're so mysterious, it makes you beautiful
You're so graceful, it makes me sad
There was some kind of air about you
I have a feeling it's gone

But I will, I will wait
I would wait forever
I can't believe I never gave in
To sit in the cold chair beside you

I was just so afraid
You looked so cherubic
You glowed, like an angel
I was afraid I'd break you

Your soft skin was so pale,
So fragile and porcelin
You wrapped yourself in meloncholy
Those pretty blue eyes always seemed to be crying

Still the sky in your eyes was alive
I knew you were longing
Waiting patiently
And I was wanting too

I was wanting to love you
