The specter of our lost love
Wanders through my idle mind...

There was a man of God back then
Who had a dream, a dream of when...

Your face flashes before me
And I awake without you...

Wake up America
Hear what I say...

When I look inside
What do I see...

Her hair is white
Her back is bowed...

The student sits and listens to the
teacher preach and preach...

So long ago and far away
My dreams are all of yesterday...

Somewhere beating, two hearts in harmony
Somewhere longing, two lives in misery...

Do the words "I love you"
provide us satisfaction...

The blazing fire radiates it's warmth
Encompassing the couple as they reminisce...

The spring sun gently warms the earth
Signaling an awakening from winter's sleep...
