    As a kid I hated this song. But after puberty this is such a relatable situation. Seeing a beautiful woman and feeling that you should be together, unable to do anything in such a fleeting moment. Of course it is a silly and baseless infatuation but you never learn from it.

      Christopher Tondro “I don’t think that I’ll see her again”, Is clearly not the words of a stalker. That is not what a stalker does. A stalker follows someone around and sees them all the time. If he said it was about a stalker he meant it in a joking way.

    Of that I'm sure.
    She smiled at me on the subway.
    She was with another man.
    But I won't lose no sleep on that,
    'Cause I've got a plan.
    You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
    You're beautiful, it's true.
    I saw you face in a crowded place,
    And I don't know what to do,
    'Cause I'll never be with you.
    Yeah, she caught my eye,
    As we walked on by.
    She could see from my face that I was,
    Flying high,
    And I don't think that I'll see her again,
    But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

And one day I gave her a red rose I had cut a block away, thinking that this time I would be strong enough to say something to her...but that was not the case. And to this day, almost 35 years later, I regret it. Now I understand that it could have not done any harm to say, "Hey, I like you."

    Damn, i lived 4 yours without knowing this piece of live art is existing. A few years ago i didnt like his music, but now i realised what an artist he is. This voice, his face expressions while singing. This is talent and soul.

    James wanted the audience to sing along. Unfortunately he is just so damn good that all the audience could do was sit back and listen to the beauty of his singing and playing. Absolutely incredible.

    Man, such a deep emotions! He is truly feeling it when he sings this song. I wonder how many depression he has to go through to sing it and the hardest part is getting over cos she will always be the woman of his dream who won't be with him.

    My life is brilliant
    My love is pure
    I saw an angel
    Of that I'm sure
    She smiled at me on the subway
    She was with another man
    But I won't lose no sleep on that
    'Cause I've got a plan
    You're beautiful
    You're beautiful
    You're beautiful, it's true
    I saw your face in a crowded place
    And I don't know what to do
    'Cause I'll never be with you
    Yes, she caught my eye
    As we walked on by
    She could see from my face that I was
    Flyin' high
    And I don't think that I'll see her again
    But we shared a moment that will last till the end
    You're beautiful
    You're beautiful
    You're beautiful, it's true
    I saw your face in a crowded place
    And I don't know what to do
    'Cause I'll never be with you
    La-la-la-la
    La-la-la-la
    La-la-la-la, la
    You're beautiful
    You're beautiful
    You're beautiful, it's true
    There must be an angel with a smile on her face
    When she thought up that I should be with you
    But it's time to face the truth
    I will never be with you
