You Don’t know me!

I want you to sing along, This may not be your favorite song,

Yet, it brings with it a lot of truth, no matter who you may be,

In the end I don’t know you and you don’t know me.

I have seen you across a neighborhood, I have seen you in a crowded room, and even in the wood.

I have watched you smile, watched you laugh, watched you even interact,

I admire from afar, and see you as a shinning star.

Yet you don’t know me,

Or the man that I am,

You have no idea, I am your biggest fan.

You don’t know me, for I am a quiet man,

Yes You don’t know me, and all that I be,

My smile or my laughter you have never seen,

My empathy or style you have not learned,

My honesty or caring or the way of my sharing,

Yes You don’t know me.

I slide through life on my own, I once had a lover at home,

She passed from this planet you see, and she is the only one who really knew me.

I go day by day, alone on my own, watching always from afar,

I see the person you be, your smile your laughter, your kindness and caring,

But you don’t know me. Yes, You don’t know me, You Don’t know me, Don’t you see!

You don’t know my style, you don’t know my laughter or my smile, or my empathy,

You don’t know the knowledge, the heart and more inside of me.

Yes the truth is you don’t know me, my words or ways,

You don’t know me, yes, you don’t know me, you don’t know me, But I wish I knew you !

But, You Don’t know meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
