Pastel Reflections - Lyrics

They were seventeen, barely out of high school. Yet they shared a love that was as ancient as the sky This king and his queen, to be kept apart by no mans rule, made plans to meet and marry nearby ------ "I will come to you, my Love" is what she said to him, "and you must promise you'll wait until I do" "Meet me at the gate, my Love and if you'll take my hand, heaven will be next for me and you" ----- He went to the East, leaving her to worry. When his tour was done, he was sent home a broken man She could find no peace until she got word he was to come by chartered plane back from Iran ----- "I can hardly wait, my Love, to look into your eyes first hand. Until you're home safe, I won't believe it's true"" "Meet me at the gate, my Love, and just as we have always planned, heaven will be next for me and you" ----- While she waited there, She heard the announcement. There had been a storm, his plane had gone into the bay She fell in despair, whisp'ring as her light was slowly spent. These are the last words she would say: ----- "I can't let you go, I am coming too. Meet me at the gate... Heaven will be next for me and you"
