Lisa - UB40

I admire you from afar

You’ve changed the way I see

I used to think that I

Should make you be like me

But after this short time

Watching what you do

I realise that I

Should strive to be like you

Whenever I am near you

I tread so awkwardly

Afraid someone may steal you

I guard you jealously

Then sing the world your praises

Let everybody know

That I just saw the future

A place I want to go

I admire you from afar

I hear you when you’re talking

Untouched simplicity

Alive with expectations

In search of what might be

I admire you from afar

Then sing the world your praises

I hear you when you’re talking

Then sing the world your praises

I hear you when you’re talking

Then sing the world your praises
