Forever on the Sidelines

(piano intro) Verse 1) Across the crowded room, a radiant light appears Her smile, a burst of sunshine, chasing away my fears She laughs, a melody that fills the air with glee But her warmth belongs to another, that much I clearly see (Chorus) She's my sunshine, a distant fire, burning oh so bright I watch her from the shadows, lost in her starry night Her happiness a treasure I can't claim as mine Just a silent guardian, forever on the sidelines (guitar solo) (guitar solo) (Verse 2) He holds her hand, a picture perfect scene My heart, a hollow echo, where a love has never been I swallow down the envy, a bitter, lonely taste Wishing I could hold her close, but the moment won't be chased (Chorus) She's my sunshine, a distant fire, burning oh so bright I watch her from the shadows, lost in her starry night Her happiness a treasure I can't claim as mine Just a silent guardian, forever on the sidelines (guitar solo) (Bridge) Maybe someday fate will turn, and rewrite the story's line But for now, I'll hold this secret, and watch her forever shine (Chorus) She's my sunshine, a distant fire, burning oh so bright I watch her from the shadows, lost in her starry night Her happiness a treasure I can't claim as mine Just a silent guardian, forever on the sidelines (Outro) My sunshine, forever out of reach, a bittersweet display But even in the distance, her light chases the clouds away forever on the sidelines (Outro) My sunshine, forever out of reach, a bittersweet display But even in the distance, her light chases the clouds away
