State Of Grace

I saw you stepping down from the train
into the busy city streets
I swear I heard you whisper my name
made me miss another heartbeat
I'm sure I saw your face
alive in every passing stranger
felt your breath
like a sweet caress
till there was nothing left
and I was blowing kisses in the wind
every time I hear your voice
you let me know the love survived
holding on for another day
nobody can take your place
an angel in a state of grace
shadows fall when you close your eyes
I hear you walking down to the church
past the house we used to love
I tried to hide you picture
out of reach
but you're always high above me
standing face to face
a beautiful familiar stranger
I'm on my knees
like a summer breeze
under the wishing tree
you give me the strength to carry on
every time I hear your voice
you let me know the love survived
holding on for another day
nobody can take your place
an angel in a state of grace
shadows fall when you close your eyes
sometimes in the dead of night
you come for me
I reach out my hand to you
ready to give up this fight
you give me the strength to carry on~
(every time)
every time I hear your voice
you let me know the love survived
holding on for another day
nobody can take your place
an angel in a state of grace
shadows fall when you close your eyes
(when you close your eyes~)
(holding on for another day~)
(shadows fall when you close your eyes)
