State of constant confusion!

With tears in my eyes
I look up at the sky
But all I can see is you
That one tiny star
Used to seem so far
But it was there in your eyes of blue

When I walked that floor
Then I shut that door
And walked out on all our plans
Your face in my mind
When I left you behind
Leaves me longing to hold you again

(chorus)
The taste of your lips
Your fingertips
Are all just a memory now
If you'd be so kind
As to move out of my mind
I've got to forget you somehow

Your sweet perfume
Still brightens our room
It's driving me out of my mind
I hear your voice in my ear
Almost like you're near
But I know it's for good this time

You're a bridge yet to cross
But I can handle the loss
As long as you leave me alone
So set my heart free
Give it back to me
It's been loving without you too long



"Don't wish upon a star...Reach for one!!"

Jeffrey,

Wonderful song my friend.  Always hard to let go, but when one door closes another door opens.  I know you will find the happiness you deserve.

I remember all the hours that went into this one...heartfelt

Ignore those who would clip your wings...fly ever upward...even if it means scorched wings
