Story Behind The Song

I met my wife in California, on the other side of the country. It was a summer love, but I missed her when I had to go. I wrote this song on the plane home.

Song Description

boy meets girl, boy leaves girl, boy misses girl, boy intends to come back for her.

Lyrics

I said hello, how are you today when I first
Touched your hand then I turned and walked away
I knew it then, but I didn?t want to say
But I was sure
You look into my eyes and you tell me what I want to hear
I can?t run anymore, now I must face my deepest fear
So much closer you come and tell you through your tears
That I, I know my heart

chorus:
I didn?t miss you till I stepped onto that plane
I didn?t cry, till I turned and walked way
I didn?t show the way I felt inside
I was wrong, cause I thought I? wouldn?t miss you.

Rain falls down like a butterfly and I wish that you were here
You?re the sweetest poem I?ve ever heard
Like a the beautiful colors of a sunset sky
So kiss me gently in my slumber
And as I wake I?ll find you there someday.

chorus

I have seen you in my sleep
I will hold you in my dreams
I will never let you go
Now I know

chorus

I said hello, how are you today when I touched your hand
Now I can?t walk away.
