I had a dream I was flying
Mother said you were alive again
More alive than you’d ever been
I sprinted out to the water’s edge

I got to look in your eyes again
I got to look in your eyes

You didn’t say you were leaving
But looking back I guess you did
And God I wish that I had heard you then
Guess that I wasn’t listening

I got to see you smile again
I got to see you smile

And I hope that little lake house
Wasn’t only in my dreams
I hope where you are is kinder
Than this earth could ever be
I hope when you took that final leap of faith
It felt like flying

And I hope somehow you finally know
How much we really love you
And that any doubt about it is left
In this world behind you
You gave me all my dreams
I’ll be staying gold for you

I got to look in your eyes again
I got to say goodbye
