lyrics
I remember when time stood still
By the tall pines and the blackberry hills
Under a clear blue sky
And I was looking in your eyes
I heard the morning glories say
We’re glad you’re here and hope you’ll stay
With the birds and butterflies
Vying for your eyes
An angel sang but it made no sound
It did not need to go around
You must have heard as well ‘cuz I
Saw the smiles in your eyes
You moved in harmony
Through the mystery
Like you weren’t even trying
I wish (that I could follow | wished I could have followed) you
I wish I could have made it through
The needle’s eye
The world was reaching for the sun
For the warmth it offered everyone
But it turned to see the sun and sky
Shining in your eyes
All our lives we try
To find out where heaven lies
People search the starry skies
And miss the heaven in your eyes
You moved in harmony
Through the mystery
Like you weren’t even trying
I wish (that I could follow | wished I could have followed) you
I wish I could have made it through
The needle’s eye
You asked me to follow
I went as far as I could go
I couldn’t reach that higher place
You were too far away
I’m trimming down even though
You might say I’m moving slow
I’m determined to make it through
To be with you
You moved in harmony…
By the tall pines and the blackberry hills
Under a clear blue sky
And I was looking in your eyes
I heard the morning glories say
We’re glad you’re here and hope you’ll stay
With the birds and butterflies
Vying for your eyes
An angel sang but it made no sound
It did not need to go around
You must have heard as well ‘cuz I
Saw the smiles in your eyes
You moved in harmony
Through the mystery
Like you weren’t even trying
I wish (that I could follow | wished I could have followed) you
I wish I could have made it through
The needle’s eye
The world was reaching for the sun
For the warmth it offered everyone
But it turned to see the sun and sky
Shining in your eyes
All our lives we try
To find out where heaven lies
People search the starry skies
And miss the heaven in your eyes
You moved in harmony
Through the mystery
Like you weren’t even trying
I wish (that I could follow | wished I could have followed) you
I wish I could have made it through
The needle’s eye
You asked me to follow
I went as far as I could go
I couldn’t reach that higher place
You were too far away
I’m trimming down even though
You might say I’m moving slow
I’m determined to make it through
To be with you
You moved in harmony…
