I love to watch the way
She listens to the music play
The way she clasps her hands
As if she might hold on to time
She's wild as her smile
And innocent and pure
I watch her just the way
I've done so many times before
I try to hide the regret I feel
When I'd take her home, but she'd want to stay
I try to hide, but the pain is real
Knowing this will be the one and only day
When I was younger
And I just couldn't sleep
She would sit with me
When I listen to this music
She stands there quietly
I know she's watching me
I am never alone as long as I know she is there
And I hope that she knows how much I care
We walk from the subway to our favorite café
She orders two breakfasts today
And while we sip coffee
We make up these stories
Watching people, we'll never meet
She wraps up the second meal
And goes outside to see
This old man on the street
She says, "Here, take this, eat"
And he says, "thank you, dear"
She pets his dog and leaves
No one's ever alone if she happens to be there
And I hope she knows I see how she cares
I try to hide the regret I feel
That I took for granted just how bright she shined
I try to hide, but the pain is real
Knowing that I have so very little time
The memories of a lifetime
Come rushing back to me
The stories the city hides
Unravel and reveal
The smell of pretzels in the air
The sound of traffic everywhere
Is any of this real?
Are these just the ghosts of memories?
I love the walks we take
As the sun sets on the lake (The sun sets so quickly)
The way she holds my hand
Our fingers tightly intertwined (The light fades so swiftly)
She's wild as her smile
And innocent and pure
I wish I'd taken more time so many times before
I cannot hide; will I ever heal?
The choice was mine, I know, there is no other way
I cannot hide, and I'm scared to feel (She cannot hide, and she's scared to feel)
I want to stay with her and hold on to this day
Now on the doorstep
There are few hours left
She's tired, and she'll want to sleep
Home it's quiet
And calm and private
And safe and filled with such peace
My thoughts are rushing back to me
Like lyrics of a song
A lifetime of memories
But something is wrong
Where am I now?
Where have I been?
Is this the start or near the end?
Is any of this real?
Am I just a ghost or memory?
I sit at her bedside
And look into her eyes
She smiles, but then her smile fades
I'm sure she can feel it
Her delicate spirit
And I just don't know what to say
Dream so sweetly
And while you are sleeping
All your troubles will fade away
Dream of a place
Filled with bright, smiling faces
And I'll be there with you someday
And I'll be there with you someday
