She was sitting in class, painting her nails

He watched her every move, he could tell

She never knew he was there

She wore the latest styles and knew what was cool

He was tall and shy, the smartest in the school

She didn't care

He looked forward to seeing her every day

At lunch time, and as he sat down

She would leave

On a dance floor, and lost in the crowd

He got the courage to hold out his hand and smile

She said "In your dreams."



He was there

She hardly noticed

He was invisible

And not the coolest guy

He was there

And he mattered

All she had to do

Was just return a smile.



Ten years and three kids later

She was working in a grocery store

Her marriage falling apart at the seams

Tall & shy turned into dark & handsome

A wealthy lawyer with all the answers

Every woman's dream.



One day she passed him on the street

He stole her heart instantly

She stared in disbelief

She was wearing worn out clothes

Her kids were screaming and out of control

And she smiled but he said "In your dreams."



He was there

She never noticed

He had been invisible

And after all this time

He was there

And he mattered

It took her years to know it

He'd been there all the tim

And all she had to do

Was just return a smile...
