... for her

You and me we're at the goldfish pond
and I, I was tagging along for the ride
all the big mouthed fish really made us laugh
and while I stood still I felt a chill 
I thought that maybe you did too 
I wanted to feel that way forever
And that's why 
If you're looking at me I'll try to be what you want to see
and if I'm, if I'm, ever that lucky
You won't have to be so, You won't have to be so sad
You won't have to be so sad. 
Last night I was trying to read in bed
But I got to watching you sleep instead
Even when I got tired I couldn't stop
Because I love you so, and I pray you know
But I'm not much for praying
I knew I couldn't say that without making a joke
And that's why if you're looking at me I'll try to be what you want to see
and If I'm ever that lucky you won't have to be so
You won't have to be so sad. 
You won't have to be so sad. 
Yeah that's why 
If you're looking at me I'll try to be what you want to see
and I, if I'm ever that lucky you won't have to be so 
You won't have to be so sad. 
You won't have to be so sad.
You won't have to be so sad.
