Girl Like You
Martin Storrow Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I think about your eyes
And where the ocean meets the sky
I see the colors making love at the horizon and
So many thoughts about the time
And how I wish I'd met you sooner
The things that I would do for your attention, and

He looks at you like he lives for you

And it must be so easy to
And I know, oh, that you love him, too

But if I could turn back the time, oh I would surely
Steal you for mine
'Cause I'll never find
Another girl like you

Well I have heard you sing your song
And I have hung on every silence
Waiting for the word that will set me free
And I have tried to move along
I am frozen in defiance
Hoping for a chance
At harmony

He looks at you
Like he lives for you
And it must be so easy to
And I know, oh, that you love him to
But if I could turn back the time
I would surely steal you for mine
'Cause I will never find
Another girl like you

If I could turn back the time
Oh, I would surely
Steal you for mine

'Cause there will never be
Another girl like you

Sometimes I think about your eyes
I often ponder on the beauty of your eyes

And where the ocean meets the sky
And how they resemble the meeting of the ocean and the sky

I see the colors making love at the horizon and
I can envision the colors of the horizon merging together

So many thoughts about the time
My mind is filled with numerous thoughts

And how I wish I'd met you sooner
Especially, I wish I had met you way earlier than I actually did

The things that I would do for your attention, and
I am willing to do anything to grab your attention

He looks at you like he lives for you
The way he gazes at you shows how much he adores you

And it must be so easy to
It seems so easy for him to love you

And I know, oh, that you love him, too
And I can tell that you love him too

But if I could turn back the time, oh I would surely
However, if it were possible to turn back the hands of time, I would definitely

Steal you for mine
Take you away from him and have you to myself
