I stare out the window My mind on edge As the last light of day surrenders to night I sip on straight bitter whiskey to force you out of my life There's a picture I create a lover I need what I'd give to hold her in these empty arms don't wanna believe she's just a dream a fairytale soon to be gone (CH) I wanna sail into the starlight Send my soul beyond the moon I wanna beg the angels to let her stay by my side and let my dream come true cause I know she's up there somewhere where I won't have to think of you. Got our wedding pictures Stuffed in a dresser drawer There's a ring on the mantle that I used to wear wish to God I could replace you with these dreams I have of her. (CH) I wanna sail into the starlight Send my soul beyond the moon I wanna beg the angels to let her stay by my side and let my dream come true cause I know she's up there somewhere where I won't have to think of you. Won't anybody listen to me When I pray for her I know she's up there somewhere above the way we were... (CH) I wanna sail into the starlight Send my soul beyond the moon I wanna beg the angels to let her stay by my side and let my dream come true cause I know she's up there somewhere where I won't have to think of you.

Beautiful song, you should publish it! I write songs too,and sing them, it's such a blessing a gift to put your emotions into words through poetry, and song...sad and touches the heart strings.I hope it is not from a true experience, but if it is, she was loved, truely loved, a great way to remember her.Some of the best songs come from our hearts! |

Thank you so much J K Mitchell I appreciate that. Parisgirl thanks for dropping in I haven't heard from you for a long time. Hey Passing didn't set out to make you cry but am glad I was able to.....That touches me too. Romantic heart I ahven't heard from you for a long time either. It's always great to hear from a fellow songwriter and yes it's so wonderful to put words into a song. No this is not from experience but probably from someone else's that I've observed somewhere along the line. I appreciate the kind words. Eric |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Eric, this is so very beautifully heartbreaking, dearest friend, I hope this isn't related to your own happenings for I can only imagine many out there who truly miss their lovers and hold the memories like yesterday is today! (big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I send many angel hugs your way, I too am a songwriter and write more rock and roll and just love this song, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Eric, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |
