'cause when...it's then

i've come so close to letting go
sharing how i feel for you to know
hoping you'd be there with open arms
but still i hold back only because
i don't know if i'm the man for you
could i give you all that i want to
you may not ask for much but that still ain't fair
'cause there's not enough in this world to show how i care
for you

'cause when
i think of you
it's then
that i get this humbled feeling
tellin' me to stop my dreaming
for you

i dream throughout the day and think all night
could i love you girl, could i do you right
with life in the way i don't know what to say
so i keep on with my dreamin' hoping someday
that i can grow to become a better man
a better man who surely can
do much more than just dream all day long
a better man who can write a better love song
for you

'cause when
i think of you
it's then
that these words just don't stop flowing
but there's just no use in hoping
for you
