She said hello and smiled Melted inside but all the while Stood there trying to keep my cool No way could she want me She thinks I'm a fool My angel with her big brown eyes Beautiful skin and fantastic smile Those brown eyes that never see me As the man I am or the man I could be Could she love me? CHORUS Difference of 19 years Age is just a number I'll be 18 for the rest of my life Living with this hunger Why is life so cruel to me The girl I want just cannot see That we would be so good together A perfect love that would last forever It would last forever REPEAT CHORUS From a distance I watch her ruin her life With guys that just won't help her I'll wait in the wings with advice Off she goes again to ruin her life Without me there to guide her REPEAT CHORUS
