Lyrics
HE?LL NEVER KNOW
Lyric by Ed Kulkosky, music by Jay Kerr
Windblown hair,
He sang his song to me.
We walked the dunes and dipped our feet.
The ocean danced and splashed a steady beat.
He touched my core with charm and wit and grace.
I touched his face.
He?ll never know me.
Summer air,
The scent so strong to me.
We each were players in our way
And how we played togethere night and day,
Intense beyond the power to forget.
New love and yet
He?ll never know me.
The air grew crisp
And in a wisp,
Like summer, he was gone.
The wind no longer served our whim
But still I felt the warm of him live on.
Mem?ries there
Still all belong to me.
The dunes we walked washed out to sea
Just like the lifelong love he couldn?t be.
Windblown hair and eyes so blue,
Free as the sea you frolic through,
Like the dad you never knew.
And who?s to blame?
Though it?s a shame,
He?ll never know you.
