Jazz In the Morning

Your tousled hair, your sleepy eyes Imprinted on my teenage mind. I fell in love, I wish you had I’ve tried so hard to leave you behind. We’ve never synchronized the time So we could be together Then life and distance got in the way Of our “Happily Ever After.” I finally realized it wasn’t time It wasn’t life or distance. I had fallen in love with someone Who wasn’t in love with me. Just when I think I’m over you My pulse will race, my breath will catch, on A shirt the color of your eyes, or A song we heard while driving by. Instead of being filled with you I cannot escape this Unrelenting longing chased by Regrets that fill me in the night. Even though I’ll never get back The part of my heart that is yours, You can never take away the time we spent Or your touch, or your kiss, or the tears. Years have passed, it’s obvious We’ll never be together. I’m happy now, my life is good I hope you’re well wherever. I’ll go my way and find another, but I’ll always think of you Whenever I hear jazz in the morning Or see the lights of Santa Fe.
