While I Stare

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I woke up this morning

And looked out the window

And smiled with a tear in my eye

Reflections of you

Silhouetted by dawn

Painted by clouds in the sky

I can't change where we've been

And I can't change who we are

And I can't explain

All the things that we've seen

Or the reason we've travelled so far

But I can picture the moments

Passing by me while

I stare

At the memory of yesterday

That only you and I

Can share

We can share

I stand here reflecting

Reliving, connecting

In every direction I look

A story unfolds

Of a road painted gold

In a chapter that's missing it's book

I can't change where we've been

And I can't change who we are

And I can't explain

All the things that we've seen

Or the reason we've travelled so far

But I can picture the moments

Passing by me while

I stare

At the memory of yesterday

That only you and I

Can share

I can picture the moments

Passing by me while

I stare

At the memory of yesterday

That only you and I

Can share

We can share

We can share

We can share
