katie's song

Katie walked with me to school
that day her shoes don't match.
i know she saved my life that day,
now sweet Katie's gone away.
i never let her know
how much she means.
i will always wonder...
is Katie coming back?

a thousand other dreams i've waked away,
the sun comes up and this one stays.
it really hurts when your friendships change,
just as you settle down it's time to rearrange.
in the end it all works out the same:
all alone where no one knows your name...
no one knows your name.

of all the friends and hardship that i knew,
when i'm alone i still think of you.
after finding out some dreams don't come true,
i fall asleep and i dream of you.
knowing everything that's pulled me through,
i wonder why i remember you.

sometimes we live so caught up in ourselves,
we don't notice the girl next door.
i never knew her as well as i should,
i should have talked with her more.
sometimes we live so caught up in ourselves,
we don't notice the girl next door.
please don't let me be misunderstood,
i Love her, Love her as a brother would (shhh... )

in her eyes i see anger,
in her eyes i see tears--
within her lies a feeling far beyond her years.
it really hurts when your friendships change--
just as you settle down it's time to rearrange.
in the end it all works out the same:
all alone where no one knows your name.

one afternoon as she crossed the street,
i could not resist.
i tossed her a bright red summer rose,
she reached... but it just missed.
she picked it up and she left me this:
the way some women blow a kiss.

Margaret isn't talking now,
there's nothing left to say.
oh i would do anything,
to have her here, and i would sing:
i would let her know
how much she means.
she will always live here...
in my dreams
