There's a quiet sense of beauty In that lost and loving smile
I can almost see the angels take a bow
In their hurry to impress her As only they knew how
Then I sit and ponder life for just a while
Where the ivy grows in silence At my beloved home
Now that house that rang with laughter stands alone
And our vacant conversations Like the pictures on the wall
Sadly hold but little meaning anymore
But her strength still burns within me Like the day she made me stand
Put some courage in your dreaming Carve your footprints in the sand
For the dreams are for the dreamers And the goals for me and you
Play the gandum, say I love you On your way to passing through
Someone's waiting in the shadows For that final curtain call
And somehow that consolation dims the glow
There's a man and there's a young boy Brief encounters long ago
There's a joy and there's a sadness going home
But no turning back the ages What's lived cannot be changed
We are part of something greater that's the same
Now I love her and I miss her She's the one who gave me life
She's the one who made the boy and the man
But her strength still burns within me Like the day she made me stand
Put some courage in your dreaming Carve your footprints in the sand
For the dreams are for the dreamers And the goals for me and you
Play the gandum, say I love you On your way to passing through
