Waves of Chance

As the years pass as they should

Seems like only yesterday

That I stood

By a man whose eyes

Were turned up to the sun

Though I never asked his name

Everyday he was there

Just the same

Waiting for someone

Who never seemed to come

I wonder why I couldn't see before

And notice he wasn't there anymore

Until I found the message

Hanging from my door

As I read I didn't make a sound

'Til it slipped from my hands

And fluttered down

Suddenly my knees grew weak

And I feel to the ground

That's when my tears

Fell on the letter

I could hear his voice so clear

Within my mind again

And I know that now

His love would live forever

'Cause his heart was beating

There inside the words

He left behind

In the days that followed on

And the moments searching

Where he had gone

Everything was like a blur

Until I learned

And although I was afraid to see

The truth was starting

Right in front of me

Somehow I knew that this was

What was meant to be

(Chorus)

That's when my tears

Fell on the marker

As I touched the name

I hadn't seen before 'til then

And I promised that

One day we'd be together

Somewhere far away

Where I'd stand by his side again

And as my tears

Fall on the letter

I can hear your voice so clear

Within my mind once more

And I know that now

My love will live forever

(Chorus)

That's when my tears

Fell on the marker

As I touched the name

I hadn't seen before 'til then

And I promised that

One day we'd be together

Somewhere far away

Where I'd stand by his side again

And as my tears

Fell on the letter

I can hear your voice so clear

Within my mind once more

And I know that now

My love will live forever

For a heart that's beating

There inside the words

You left behind

"If you find this message that I left behind"

"You'll know that time has pulled me away from you"

"And though I don't know who you are"

"And I am far away, I love you all the same"

"Even though you will never know my name…"
