| I used to think that being alone would somehow simplify my life
|
| But I really know myself and I know I’m going miss tonight
|
| Talking on the telephone or having all the postage paid
|
| Will never make me feel as good as walking on those river banks
|
| Laughing like two little kids sitting in the back of class
|
| The only thing that’s on my mind is how to make this moment last
|
| So I pulled my camera out and aimed it at your smiling face
|
| All the while we hear the sound of our time ticking away
|
| I used to think that being in love would somehow complicate my life
|
| But I really know my heart and I can hear yours beat with mine
|
| Pounding on piano keys and strumming those old copper strings
|
| Will always make me feel like your standing right there next to me Singing like two little kids waiting for the rain to pass
|
| The only thing that’s on my mind is how to make this moment last
|
| So I pulled my feelings out and left them in your travel case
|
| All the while we hear the sound of our time ticking away
|
| If I was a rich man I would bring my friends along
|
| We’d move up to the mountains and record a hundred songs
|
| But since my wallet’s empty and I have these lines to sing
|
| Just know that I will see you all when I close my eyes and dream
|
| I will see you Joseph with that child light in your eyes
|
| Standing in the moonlight staring up at all the stars
|
| We’ll be with Piana as she plays those organ keys
|
| And we’ll all become kids again and laugh out loud until our hearts are free
|
| Just her and him
|
| Her and him and me |
