when I saw
you standing on the stairs
in her arms
completely unaware
that I'd come
to send you on your way
gift in hand
I knew just what to say
but how could I bare
(look there's that girl back over there)
her hands in your hair
(the one with glasses and the hair)
and how could I miss
(I can't control what's in her mind)
what could have been my kiss?
(she'll take the hint I'm sure it's fine)
don't know her name
though I've seen her once or twice
had no idea
that you'd kiss her on the ice
near the stop
waiting for the train
will she be here
when you come back again?
as I walk
I stop to see the sights
people shop
the doors are decked in lights
and this book
the one I got to show
you how I feel
I'll leave it in the snow
'cuz how could I bare
(look there's that girl back over there)
her hands in your hair
(the one with glasses and the hair)
and how could I miss
(I can't control what's in her mind)
what could have been my kiss?
(she'll take the hint I'm sure it's fine)
