Northern Lights (A Song for Barbara)

I'm so tired, but I can't sleep Still scanning the bed for your body heat It's been so long since I could feel you by my side When I see you now, we barely speak But you still mean so much to me I still try to find a way to turn back time We both were just dead things brought down by winter's cold But then summer came and took us away and now we shine like gold I see you I can feel you in my bones Your voice it still assures me that I am not alone You're the northern lights that guide my way You're everything that's true No matter how far I stray I still come back to You stood out in the crowded room, I bloomed against the wall The boys they tried to take a piece, but I just want it all You walked up and said "dance with me", but I was so drunk I could barely see But when your eyes met with mine, it felt like destiny You took my hand and changed my life You kissed me soft, but held me tight In a world that's so dark You're my guiding light I see you I can feel you in my bones Your voice it still assures me that I am not alone You're the northern lights that guide my way You're everything that's true No matter how far I stray I still come back to you Always together, we'll never part Forever and always in my heart Nothing could ever change Nothing could ever take this love I stand before you now with roses in hand As if it could make you understand That I would trade your life for mine
