This song was composed on the storyline for a movie of an independent film producer looking for the sound like Hootie And The Blowfish. It was not picked for use in the film but it came in second and carries a lot of potential for a top 40's hit song.
Story Behind the Song
A young man's infatuation and attachment to a woman that views him as only a friend.
lyrics
Here I'm sitting staring near... at your face, and I see your smile ...smile,
Then I wonder about your warm... embrace, and my mind goes wild...
(Chorus 1)
How can I stop the way that I feel, when my loves so strong ... strong?
I look and there our love should be real, but instead, it's gone...
How lonely... of a man that I've been, for all these years... years...
I've looked at others... but there's no way, I can get past these tears...
(Chorus 2)
I just can't stop my thinking of you; you're all I've known... known
My days are filled with you in my face; don't know what went wrong...
When I go out and look...into the sky's, I see visions of you...you
And I hope that someday ...we will be two, and then my eyes go blue...
(Chorus 3)
Why can't I tell you just how I feel, I've loved you so long... long
But every... time I think that it's near, then my words run on...
Wow ...... Wow...
My friends they call... me crazy, they say I'm a fool...fool
But in my world...full of mazes, our love will be true...
Repeat (Chorus 1)
How can I stop the way that I feel, when my loves so strong ... strong?
I look and there our love should be real, but instead, it's gone...
I realized that I'm.... missing, a vital part of my life... life
Your hugs, your smiles, your kisses, want you to be my wife...
Repeat (Chorus 2)
I just can't stop my thinking of you; you're all I've known... known
My days are filled with you in my face; don't know what went wrong...
I hope you learn to love me, the way I love you...you
And if you care to love me, I'll be here for you...
Repeat (Chorus 3)
Why can't I tell you just how I feel, I've loved you so long... long
But every... time I think that it's near, then my words run on...
