the heart grows fonder

Across the pond by the flower lady's house

At night she'd come out

Leave roses on the window pane

To kiss the birds goodnight

Up above where the chimney meets the sky

It's quiet up there

She looks into your eyes

The buzzing of a firefly

They say

The heart grows fonder

The way

A paper plane just flies away

On a cloudy day

The wind behind its back

Searching for an open hand

Hoping that you'll stay

Right about when the sun peeks through the blinds

The smell of sea salt

The twinkle in her eye

The humming of a satellite

They say

The heart grows fonder

The way

A paper plane just flies away

On a cloudy day

The wind behind its back

Searching for an open hand

Hoping that you'll stay
