The Whispering Wind

When the cool night breeze 
Stirs the tops of the trees 
And the clouds make a dome 
Of the midnight sky 
I remember your kiss 
And the arms that I miss 
Then I gaze into the darkness and sigh 

We were young and strong 
And whatever came along 
We’d win every challenge we’d meet 
Then you went away 
And I had to stay 
And you left me full of defeat 

Now my hair’s turning gray 
I’m getting older each day 
But inside I still feel the same 
I remember holding you tight 
And I stand in the night 
And the wind seems to whisper your name
