Morning Song for Sally
Morning Song for Sally -Nanci Griffith
As the morning light stretched
In across my bed
I thought of you
Remembering your laughing eyes
And all we said I love you too
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
How the short time
Together lasts so long
Makes me strong
As two weeks came
And went then you
And I were gone living on
For it seems our love
Was destined to be caught in other nets
But the love we held so brief
Id chance again without regret
Yes standing by the road
Has been my song
Before much too long
But now somehow Im forced
To see me there once more
And thats the song
For my waking thoughts of you are
But extensions of the dream
Without you here beside me
Ill never know all that they mean
As the morning light stretched
In across my bed
I thought of you
Remembering your laughing eyes
And all we said I love you too
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
