lyrics

I write to you if only you could hear
I keep meaning to mail you the song
and lend to you my fallin' tears
it's been so very long

Do you remember when we were young?
The whole world was open before us wide
How we dreamed a dream together
as we walked along side by side?

I keep thinkin' of those times
and it brings me joy
in the midst of heartache and pain
How I blew it all with a vision in my head
with the horizon tuggin' at my brain

You were a good friend to me in spite of it all
you gave me more chances than I deserved
Sometimes I hear your echo when I'm wallkin' down the hall
or on the treacherous paths that bend and swerve

So wherever you are I hope that you are well
I'd like to believe you think upon me as a friend
Or as a fellow traveler on a part of your journey
to a destination which knows no end

And as you make your way and gather your stones
laying down the old ones that've outlived their time
Know that a memory of you still achin' in my bones
Shall never part but burns on brightly as a melody in my heart
illuminates the music of my reason and rhyme

I write to you if only you could hear
I've been meaning to mail you the song
and lend to you my fallin' tears
it's been so very long
and it's been so very long..
