Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
I can see the red taillights heading for Spain, oh, and
I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God, it looks like Daniel
Must be the clouds in my eyes
[Verse 2]
They say Spain is pretty, though I've never been
And Daniel says it's the best place he's ever seen, oh, and
He should know, he's been there enough
Lord, I miss Daniel
Oh, I miss him so much
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh
Daniel, my brother, you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain
Of the scars that won't heal?
Your eyes have died
But you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh
Daniel, my brother, you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain
Of the scars that won't heal?
Your eyes have died
But you see more than I
Daniel, you're a star in the face of the sky
[Verse 3]
Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
I can see the red taillights heading for Spain, oh, and
I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God, it looks like Daniel
Must be the clouds in my eyes
Oh, God, it looks like Daniel
Must be the clouds in my eyes
