Lyrics
Pass Through Glass
She passes every morning by his window
He's busy making coffee for the crowd that comes at 8:00
His favorite morning ritual, and yet she don't know
That he notices if she's a minute late
She walks each morning by his window
And never even glances in or knows that he is there
He prays one day, their eyes will meet and he'll greet her with a smile
So warm that she might finally be aware
Chorus:
That he adores her
Like the painting behind the glass
And he can't touch her
Hands on the smooth panes as she passes
By his window
Yeah, he's so close but she seems miles away
He prays his love will pass
Through glass some day
She passes by his window every morning
Sometimes the weather's so bad that he's sure she'll wander in
And have one cup of coffee that he'll make the way she likes
The only way their true love can begin
Chorus:
But he adores her
Like the painting behind the glass
And he can't touch her
Hands on the smooth panes as she passes
By his window
She's so close, but she seems miles away
He prays his love will pass
Through glass someday
Music change:
It's been twenty years
He's been making bread
And sleeping in his empty bed
She's grown more beautiful each day
Why's he so afraid to say..
Chorus:
That he adores her
Like the painting behind the glass
And he can't touch her
Hands on the smooth panes as she passes
By his window
She's so close, but she seems miles away
He prays his love will pass
Through glass someday
He prays his love will pass
Through glass someday
Through glass someday...
