Learning To Fly

Sometimes I lie awake at night; Stare out the window at the sky. The stars eternally seem bright And in my mind, I cry. Sometimes I wonder whether this Has been one wond'rous fantasy. But having given one sweet kiss I know how I was free. The stars shine silver to my sight. The window open, breezy night. I stare in wonder at the sky And try hard not to cry. Because Dreams come like ghosts that still haunt the mind's eye. And I'll always remember you. Learning to fly. How could I forget you. I cannot deny That I'll always remember you. Learning to fly. Such longing lives in my desire To be with you. To know myself. The silver spark that brought the fire. But night is nothing else The world is ordinary now. That magic element is gone. But still I lie, lamenting how The world has lost its song. The stars are beautiful tonight And out the glass, a breezy sight. I know that I can't help but cry In longing for the sky. I still remember The wind. The breeze upon my face. The fire's dying ember. The memories I can't replace. These dreams come like ghosts that still haunt my mind's eye. And I'll always remember you. Learning to fly. I'll never forget you. For you I still cry. And I'll always remember you. Learning to fly. My dreams of times past still can never deny That I'll always remember you. Learning to fly.
