There's a quiet sense of beauty In that lost and loving smileI can almost see the angels take a bowIn their hurry to impress her As only they knew howThen I sit and ponder life for just a whileWhere the ivy grows in silence At my beloved homeNow that house that rang with laughter stands aloneAnd our vacant conversations Like the pictures on the wallSadly hold but little meaning anymoreBut her strength still burns within me Like the day she made me standPut some courage in your dreaming Carve your footprints in the sandFor the dreams are for the dreamers And the goals for me and youPlay the gandum, say I love you On your way to passing throughSomeone's waiting in the shadows For that final curtain callAnd somehow that consolation dims the glowThere's a man and there's a young boy Brief encounters long agoThere's a joy and there's a sadness going homeBut no turning back the ages What's lived cannot be changedWe are part of something greater that's the sameNow I love her and I miss her She's the one who gave me lifeShe's the one who made the boy and the manBut her strength still burns within me Like the day she made me standPut some courage in your dreaming Carve your footprints in the sandFor the dreams are for the dreamers And the goals for me and youPlay the gandum, say I love you On your way to passing through
