So I hope this finds you well Sun is shining down eastern valley ways There's some news I need to tell you Give my Mother a kiss Tell her I'm ok I recall her words "If it's too easy It never lasts I have compromised But I'm finally free of the past Now I can dance Clouds have all disappeared Freedom I hold so dear 'Cause nobody knows me here Though I can only imagine the sadness In your eyes Please understand Now I can dance All alone the other night I came to realise we'd be friends for life It was always meant to be For some people the heavens can get it so right Like an angel you see You have graciously offered a hand You'd be so proud of me Now I'm finally taking a stand Now I can dance Clouds have all disappeared Freedom I hope so dear Cause nobody knows me here Though I can only imagine the sadness In your eyes Please understand Now I can dance Now I can dance Now I can dance Clouds have all disappeared Freedom I hope so dear 'Cause nobody knows me here Though I can only imagine the sadness In you eyes Please understand Now I can dance Though I can only imagine the sadness In your eyes Please understand Now I can dance So I hope this finds you well Sun is shining down eastern valley ways So good Be free Can dance and laugh and just be me So good Be free The clouds above have disappeared
