Morning Song to Sally

As the morning light stretched in across my bed
I thought of you, hm-hm-hmm
Remembering your laughing eyes and all we said
I love you, too, hm-hm-hmm

And as all my thoughts of you pass 'fore my face a thousand times
The way they race my heart, I cannot say it all in lines

Our short time together lasts so long
Makes me strong, hm-hm-hmm
As two weeks came and went, then you and I were gone
Living on, hm-hm-hmm

For it seems our love was destined to be caught in other nets
But the love we had so brief, I'd chance again without regrets

We kissed goodbye so smooth it turned me 'round
'Round and 'round, hm-hm-hmm
But our cool sometimes returns to put me on
And slightly down, hm-hm-hmm

For we each have things to do before our time alone is done
But these thoughts of you here down the line prove the love has just begun

Yes, standing by the road has been my song before
Much too long, hm-hm-hmm
But now somehow I'm forced to see me there once more
And that's this song, hm-hm-hmm

For my waking thoughts of you are but extensions of dreams
Without you here beside me, I'll never know all that they mean

So as the morning light stretched in across my bed
I thought of you, hm-hm-hmm
Remembering your laughing eyes and all we said
I love you, too, hm-hm-hmm

And as all my thoughts of you pass 'fore my face a thousand times
The way they race my heart, I cannot say it all in lines
