You never know how much you love her, until you watch her walk astray,
In another mans arms, is where she is today.
You wait for her for years, and fear in tears is where you'll stay.
and every night you dream of her, the one that got away.

You pray to a God you don't really know.
That one day her love for you will grow.
You'd traverse through rain, sun and snow.
Just to see her ocean eyes aglow.

You're left with her pictures, her smile is so wide.
You know you are apart of that, but that's what hurts inside.
You'll always be a friend to her, you'll always be her guide.
You'll stand beside her with pride, even if he takes her as his bride.

She'll always be so beautiful, like an island in the sea.
She'll always be intriguing, so interesting to me.
She'll always be my everything. Everything I'll never see.
She'll always be so far away, another ghost to me.
