Kevin Browne: Songs

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)

She sits in the front row, though she never will know
When I hear her voice it sounds like angels singing, oh no
Then she turns her head and I hope to catch a glimpse of the face that radiates her being, oh no

She’ll never know that I’m thinking (dreaming) about her
I’m in the back row my voice is a whisper (murmur)
My anchor in tow, so far from her aura
I would say hello, but I don’t want to bore her

She sits in the front row, oblivious I know
To all that I’m doing, I wonder if she sees me at all
Then I hear the bell ring oh what could this day bring
She walks to the doorway gently floating past me into the hall

-cho-
And I could be the boy of her dreams
And she would be there waiting for me
And I could be the boy of her dreams
And she would be there waiting for me, in the front row
(November 2001)

I knew you long before you captured their hearts and launched them into the skies
Before the lights touched your hair and stars appeared in your eyes

But will you remember, will you remember me?

I knew you when we were younger
And acting famous was just a game
I saw you from across the room
But did you ever, ever know my name?

But will you remember, will you remember me?

I knew you long before you danced into, danced into the lights
And crushed them with your unassuming smile
Through all those shows and opening nights

But will you remember, will you remember me?
