As I Stare Out Upon the World

As I stare out upon the world I see your face through the crowd  
With a mute expression
You walk on, you walk on 
Camouflaged as a ghost at Halloween 
No one sees, Yet no one is meant to see
But as I stare out upon the world I see your face through the crowd
And I ponder your story
Through pain and despair, happiness and joy
Oh what is your story, Oh what is your story  
As I stare out upon the world I see your face through the crowd 
I wish to reach out, hold your hand 
Let us engage in conversation 
We can laugh until midnight, we can cry until tomorrow
As I stare out upon the world I see your face through the crowd 
But then you are gone 
Lost in the rush that is life  
Leaving me with only a memory, perhaps even a bit of regret
As I stare out upon the world I wish to see your face through the crowd 
But time has moved, The moment is in the past  
Oh what could have been, Oh what could have been  
As I stare out upon the world I wish to see your face through the crowd  
We could have had it all
The glory of friendship, the pain of heartbreak 
Or maybe, just maybe 
A sunset to disappear in with hands held tight
As I stare out upon the world
I wish, oh how I wish 
That I could simply see you through the crowd
