Lyrics
I been watching you from across the room
I know you'll be leaving with your lover soon
Nothing unfamiliar, nothing new
You love her and baby I love you
I got my best friend in this guitar
We'll be just fine yeah we've made it this far (oh yeah)
But tell me
Why can't I be the one to hold you
Why can't I be the one to make you smile that way
Why can't I be the one baby
And does she touch you like you need to be touched
And does she take you down or does she lift you up
Does she tell you what you've been needing to hear
Is she content just to have you near
Cause this whole town it just keeps moving on
Me, I reach to you with song after song
And Tell me
Why can't I be the one to hold you
Why can't I be the one to make you smile that way
Why can't I be the one baby
Some say love is a fantasy
I know it's not because it once belonged to me
Sometimes its lost and sometimes its found
But its the magic makes this world go round
I got my best friend in this guitar
We'll be just find yeah we've made it this far (oh yeah)
But tell me
Why can't I be the one to hold you
Why can't I be the one to make you smile that way
Why can't I be the one baby
Oh tell me why
Can't I
Be the one
Why can't I be the one
Why can't I be the one
Why can't I be the one
Why can't I be the one
Why can't I be the one to hold you
Why can't I be the one to make you smile that way
Why can't I be the one baby
