We share the light of morning skies
Laughed through books and whispered sighs
You never knew, but I held the glow
A secret love I couldn't show
Each stolen glance, a story untold
A warmth so near, yet far to hold
Your smile, a sun that lit my way
But my heart shows silence every day
Loving you in shame
Shadows, a quiet flame
No words to speak, no one to blame
I'm here, a step behind your dreams
Loving in silence, or so it seems
Years have passed, and we still talk
Memories linger on every wall
I see the stars when you're near me
But the moon hides my heart's melody
Each time I try to let it free
The fear of loss consumes me
So I'll remain the friend you know
Hiding a love I'll never show
Loving you in shadows, a quiet flame
No words to speak, no one to blame
I'm here, a step behind your dreams
Loving in silence, or so it seems
If you only knew the nights I prayed
That courage would come, my fears would fade
But to see you smile just as we are
Is better than losing hope
Loving you in shadows, a quiet flame
No words to speak, no one to blame
I'm here, a step behind your dreams
Loving in silence, or so it seems
I'm here, a step behind your dreams
So I'll keep this love, a gentle lie
A gentle lie
A song unsung in the states




of night
even in silence
you're my star
always close
yet always
far
if you only
knew the nights
I prayed
that courage would
come my fears would
fade but to see you
smile just as
we are is
better than losing you
near or
far
