Touch the sky

And then I see you
And I know how far we?ve come
And I wonder why
And maybe then if I can get me some
I think back
To the time in your dad?s garage
We were thinking about what could be
And reflecting on what was
And I remember
When you put your hand in mine
You smiled at me and then you asked, ?Can you touch the sky??

And I look around
On the world as it spins madly by
Though we find ourselves laughing, we would rather cry
And they told us, you kids all follow your dreams
Well that?s alright then mr teacher,
that?s alright, nothins as it seems
and we look back on our life now
the years have not been kind
I wonder about you some days
All the things we thought we?d find
*
and I think back, that night in the field and how I tried
you knowing all the answers, but still asking why
and I wondered, ?where are we goin?.
You just smiled and sighed
Threw your arms in the air and you laughed
Can you touch the sky?

And I look out and realize
Tomorrow is now today
We reflect on all things
We?ve done, or should have thought to say *
And I wonder, where your livin now
Do you still think of me * do you wonder how
I AM DOING
How the life is that you left behind
Do you miss it and do you wonder
What was left to find
*
the last I heard of you
you almost got married to some old guy, moved on out of state you graduated fine and gave the world a try
And I never saw you again
And I doubt I ever will
But when we drive down the highway, the past can stay very still
*
but I?m proud to walk the road I?ve walked, proud to had the friends I?ve had
they seen me through the best of times, worst of times and all I?ve had
and I?m still chasing dragons over sunsets rainbows, you?re still searching love, and I am looking back, the skies above*
and I think back when you took your hand in mine
you smiled at me and said, can you touch the sky?**
