I'm Just A Name
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hello, I'm just a fan who had to call you on the phone
Someone you won't remember of the many that you own
I'm just a name within your past you met while all alone
Someone who shared a love with you and stayed behind unknown
I know I'm only someone else in love with you in vain
I wish I could have helped myself, but love is so much pain
It makes me feel that there is still a chance that may remain
That you will someday surely come and give me love again
I knew your love would never be as deep as mine for you
And I knew that these many nights I'd be alone and blue
And lie awake while you forsake the only love I knew
And never learn that you'll return and we would live it through
Each time I dream a dream, I dream we're cuddled arm in arm
It seems you're looking straight at me, when I see you perform
Sometimes I think you see my face become so shy and warm
I often wonder if you know the power in your charms
Please, let me say I still love you before you hang the phone
And I am proud to once have shared the beauty that you own
I'm just a name within your past you met while all alone
Someone who shared a love with you and stayed behind unknown
