It all began as a twist of fate A poster I read as I stood to wait Two strangers crossing, two worlds apart A deep connection about to start Now we walk through life side by side I help her choose, I help her decide Keep her safe when the storm rolls near And tell her the words she needs to hear She opens up her soul so wide I see the woman she holds inside She's an Eastern flower, so wild and rare And I just act like I don't care She tells me secrets kept from the rest Lays her anxiety on my chest She speaks of boys, of love and plans I listen closely, however I can I tell her You deserve a guy who's free To love you the way love should be A guy who’s not bound by a silent tie With the burden of a truth he tries to deny Then I just smile and say goodbye... While thinking I wish I were that guy Oh, I wish I were that guy Yes, I wish I were that guy I tell her You need a guy who can look in your eyes And not just whisper dreams goodbye Someone who's got the time to hold you close And share your days, the way love shows" Then I just smile and say goodbye... While thinking I wish I were that guy Oh, I wish I were that guy Yes, I wish I were that guy
