It hurts me just to see her walk towards me and then away
Oh to see her pick a spot, beside me and choose to stay
But who’s to say and who’ll derive
She won’t concede, she’ll pass me by and I’ll just cry
Can’t you see me trying here, I’m trying to make you mine
Just a little patience please, I guarantee that in due time
You’ll see what I saw all the while,
That kindled hopes aren’t always lies, I’m glad I tried
OHHHH I’m glad I tried
But I stand still, and I bide my time
Oh, to hold her in my arms, would be so fine
Often when I’m by myself, I think about her smile
I think about who put it there, what they did, what she desires
And now I know why it must be, when fences separate the trees,
They’re property. OHH they’re property
But the fences will fall, no lines at all.
Yes, to hold her in my arms, to hear her call
But I stand still, and I bide my time
OHH to hold her in my arms, would be so fine
