I've looked up to you for oh so long
And I wanted to sing all of your songs
You moved to the city and became a star
With a Hollywood house and fancy cars
But partying hard, it burned you out
Almost crashed & burned & faded out
Don't you die on me baby, please don't go
I love you though I can never tell you so
You were the one always on my mind
And the day I left my childhood behind
Oh how I wished that you had been the one
That had taken me beneath that summer sun
I know that you will never know my name
But I will always love you just the same
Though I know that you could never care
I still close my eyes and imagine you there
