Blonde Logic
Yes. You can.
Today I saw you smile at me
Through an old mans eyes
It’s clever how you do that trick
And catch me by surprise
And Christmas Morning,
I found a shell
At my feet while at the sea
It didn’t take me long to know
You were standing there with me
A seashell here, a feather there
A cold and windy day
A rainbow in a sunless sky
Means you have passed my way
So long ago you said goodbye
But how was I to know
Those words would be the last I heard
You knew. How did you know?
If only, maybe, for a moment
I could hear your voice again
It’d be the sweetest sound I’d know
And I’d pray it never end
I’ve come so far since you’ve been gone
Though it feels like yesterday
Days to weeks,
To months to years
Since you went away
My life has changed in many ways
There’s been a lot tears,
But I wish that you could see me now,
I’m healed. There’s no more fear.
So now I look in other places ,
And see you in different ways
It’s not the same, it does not compare
It couldn’t - that’s no surprise
Until we meet again dear dad,
I’ll be patient, I will try,
Hoping for a glimpse of you
Smiling through an old man’s eyes
Through an old mans eyes
It’s clever how you do that trick
And catch me by surprise
And Christmas Morning,
I found a shell
At my feet while at the sea
It didn’t take me long to know
You were standing there with me
