I was staring back.

There was a boy that i once loved
A little kid who talked to much.
But every word he said rang in my head.
Everytime he looked at me.
Those deep green eyes were all i could see.
And i wanted to say the words i had never said.

Well he was known as my best friend.
He said hed be there til the end
We\'d be together through thick and then through thin.
And all those times he looked at me.
It was clear that he could not see.
All along i stared back.

Well 7th grade finally came along.
My love for him still growing strong.
And still the words just couldnt seem to pass.
His date to the dance was unable to go.
So he asked me how could i say no?
How i wished that night would last.

Well he was known as my best friend.
He said we\'d be there til the end.
I begann to believe it as we danced in the high school gym.
And all the while he looked at me.
It was clear that he didnt see.
All along i stared back at him.

Highschool suddenly rolled right by.
Soon it was time to say good bye.
and that would mean that we would have to part.
The moment that i felt his touch.
I said \"sweet boy you mean so much\"
\"and no matter what you\'ll always be in my heart\"

And then one day i got i got his call.
The things he said made me trip and fall.
Cuz i knew he was soon to fall in love.
He ran to me when i left that church.
He had known that i was hurt.
He said \"Dont worry. Cuz shes not good enough\"

And there i said.

You were known as my best friend.
You say you\'ll be here til the end.
And we\'d be together through thick and then through thin.
And as he walked away from me.
It was clear he couldnt see.
All along i stared back at him.

Now i sit here by his casket.
With my littl girl and a flower basket.
And she said \"Mommy did you ever love that guy?\"
I nodded my head as tears filled my eyes.
And after that i began to cry.
I said \"i loved him so much with out him i would die\"
My little girl got on her knees
She said said a prayer so soft and sweet.
She said \"God bless mommy,lord i know she needs you bad.\"
I picked her up and kissed her head.
She said \"I\'m sorry that that boy is dead\"
\"But mommy.Was he the best friend that you had?\"

and i looked down and said.

He was known as my best friend.
He said he\'d be there til the end.
and wed be together through thick and then through thin.
But now he lays here cold as stone.
I\'m feeling like i\'m all alone.
Cuz now theres no way. I\'ll ever look at him.
