Distances And Miles

It's too late for any music,

I've sung me my last song

And there's not a face left in the place

The people have all gone.

Now I'll have one more Margarita,

Mix it up in Texas-style

And I'll think of you with your eyes so blue

And go dreaming for a while.

Chorus: Now I still softly call your name

We still go stepping through the night

In the thunder and the rain

In the breathless morning light.

And still that redbird sweetly sings

Across the distances and miles

Across the distances and miles

And on high and wond'rous wings

There is a heart that dances.

There were times when I'd forgotten

How to face another morn

And there were days when I thought the ways

Of love in life were gone.

Then I came drifting dry and aimlessly

and there and then I found a friend

In Warm and willing arms.

Chorus:

So if you ever hear this song

down some long and lonely road

May it follow you, if you are blue,

May it lighten up your road.

For there is someone on that highway, too,

Chasing dreams across the land

And, if he could be like some wind so free,

He'd take you by your hand,

And he would softly call your name

As you go stepping through the night

In the thunder and the rain

Until the breathless morning light.

For still that redbird sweetly sings

Across the distances and miles

And on high and wond'rous wings

There is a heart that dances, a heart that dances.

For still that redbird sweetly sings

Across the distances and miles

And on high and wond'rous wings

There is a heart that dances, a heart that dances.
