  • I'm sitting across from you
    I'm dreaming of the things I'd do
    I don't speak, you don't know me at all
    For fear of what you might do
    I say nothing but stare at you
    And I'm dreaming, I'm tripping over you

    Truth be told, my problems solved
    You mean the world to me, but you'll never know
    You could be cruel to me
    Why go risking the way

    That I see you, that I see you
    That I see you, that I see you
    That I see?

    Conversation's not me at all
    I'm hesitating, only to fall
    And I'm weighted, I'm hating everyone

    Could it be you feel for me
    In any possible similarity?
    If it's so, how would I know?
    You'll never know me at all

    But I see you, but I see you
    But I see you, but I see you
    But I see you, but I see you
    (I'm standing across from you
    I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do)
    But I see you, but I see you
    (I'm standing across from you
    I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do)
    But I see you

    Truth be told, my problems solved
    You mean the world to me, but you'll never know
    You could be cruel to me
    Why go risking the way

    That I see you?
    But I see you
    But I see you, but I see you
    But I see you, but I see you
    (I'm standing across from you
    I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do)
    But I see you, but I see you
    (I'm standing across from you
    I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do)
    But I see you, but I see you
    (I'm standing across from you
    I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do)
    But I see you, but I see you
    (I'm standing across from you
    I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do)

    But I see you, but I see you
    But I see you, but I see you
    But I see you Writer/s: Michael Holbrook Penniman, Walter N. Afanasieff
