I keep a picture of you up front in my mind
At times it interferes with things I need to do
But your face is perfect
A perfect portrait of everything I’ve ever wanted in a person
It’s a shame that you don’t know it
That I’m so shy
You probably never said my name out loud
And I wish you could pick me out in a crowded room
It’s just a dream that I have
Even though you don’t even know my face today
But that’s today and not tomorrow
So I will keep on hoping
I’ll keep on waiting
But for today I’m just the figure in the background
You don’t know how I shine
And I hope the day will come when I will breathe in you
You’ll lean in me
And you’ll call my name out loud
And you’ll see me from across the room
You’ll grab my hand and say, “She’s with me”
And we’ll be standing face to face
But not today
And I can’t wait much longer
I can’t wait much more
So I’ll keep on holding my pillow at night
And I’ll keep on closing my eyes real tight
And I’ll keep on pursing my lips at the sight of you
And I’ll keep pretending you’re here
And I’ll wear my best dress
And I’ll wear my sweetest perfume
Just in case I see you
In a crowded room
