That Special Glow

When people look at him and me, They think we are a pair But things are not as they appear, And life is so unfair. I'm in the presence of someone For whom I do not care. When all I want is time with you, Your company to share. I'd much prefer to dream of you Than spending time with him. You have my very heart, it's true While he is just a friend. I don't know what else I can do To make you see the light I'm sad and lonely, and I'm blue All day, and every night. I'm only passing time with him I think you ought to know That you're the man who causes me To feel that special glow And I won't let him hold my hand Or hug or kiss me, so I need us like we were before, So I can let him go. At best, he's a poor substitute That's all he'll ever be. We need the hugs we used to share, The joy of you and me.
