Never Know

The world could never know How much I'll miss you Every smile in the rain Dancing through the pain And the world could never know How many lifetimes of love that you shared The sunshine in your hair The way you let it in Oh when my body slows, and they're calling me old Well I pray my light still glows, half as bright as yours Cause if I ever fall You told me that's the only way to grow If daylight never comes Through you I'll find the rainbows in shadows A simple song to keep us warm Until the moonlight calls us home And maybe i'll see you again, you never know The world could never know The silence when you left us Just the sound of ticking clocks Echoes in the night And though the world can't ever know How much it lost the day that you set sail There'll be one more happy child, one more shimmer in the tide One more flower left to find And we laugh at the idea, a couple years of skin and bone Could have a hope of keeping in such an electric soul Cause if I ever fall You told me that it happens to us all If daylight never comes Through you I'll find the rainbows in shadows A simple song to keep us warm Until the moonlight calls us home And maybe i'll see you again, you never know A simple song to keep us warm Until the moonlight calls us home And maybe i'll see you again, you never know You never know (Dedicated to Elizabeth Ann Davies)
