about

As a road musician, sometimes I'd meet someone who was amazing, but always with the knowledge that I couldn't stay to get to know that person. The next day brought obligations to be in another city or State for work. So is that it? Does life just go on? What if that was "the one?"

lyrics

Golden hair and silver eyes
Sad goodbyes: I don't want to say them
Seems as though there ought to be something I can do
To keep from losing you to the same old situation

'Cause what if I never know you
What if I never know you
What if I never really know you at all

I can't think of anything I'd rather do than make love with you
But I'd be a fool to try
My two-way street's been cut in half
Well you know I'd laugh if I didn't feel the need to cry

'Cause what if I never know you
What if I never know you
What if I never really know you at all

I could ignore you, but I'm not that kind
I just want to hold you
Settin' myself up to be knocked down again
But I'd be a liar if I didn't say I want to be close to you now

'Cause what if I never know you
What if I never, ever know you
What if I never really know you at all
