A Teardrop Away
I hear a hawk cry to its mate
Takes me back before "too late"
Lonesome lyric desert wind
Sings me into your arms again
How I wish that it could be
not just a dream but flesh & blood reality
Gone but not forgotten, you will always be
just a teardrop away in my fondest memory
The whisper of the wind brings you back again
to dance among the shadows of my heart
Thunder echoing down the hills
I hear your voice so close it chills
Lightening dances cross the sky
recalls the laughter in your eyes
Suddenly we're once again
Dizzy dancing in the rain
Gone but not forgotten, you will always be
just a teardrop away in my fondest memory
The whisper of the wind brings you back again
to dance among the shadows of my heart
Gone so swiftly without goodbyes
but I know true love never dies
As I kneel at this headstone
I know I will never walk alone
For you'll always live within my heart
guiding me from the deepest part
Gone but not forgotten, you will always be
just a teardrop away in my fondest memory
The whisper of the wind brings you back again
to dance among the shadows of my heart
