Lyrics

As the morning light stretched in across my bed, I thought of you Mmhmm Remembering your laughing eyes and all we said, I love you too Mmhmm As all my thoughts of you pass 'fore my face a thousand times The way they race my heart I cannot say it all in lines How the short time together lasts so long, makes me strong Mmhmm As two weeks came and went then you and I were gone, living on Mmhmm For it seems our love was destined to be caught in other nets But the love we held so brief, I'd chance again, without regret Yes, standing by the road has been my song before, much too long Mmhmm But now somehow I'm forced to see me there once more, and that's the song Mmhmm For my waking thoughts of you are but extensions of the dream Without you here beside me, I'll never know all that they mean As the morning light stretched in across my bed, I thought of you Mmhmm Remembering your laughing eyes and all we said, I love you too Mmhmm As all my thoughts of you pass b'fore my face a thousand times The way they race my heart I cannot say it all in lines
