Daniel's Song

Daniel's Song

all the tears I cried over you
all the heartache and fears
you put me through
the break-up of a lifetime
you were the love of my life
I'll never love another man
the way that I loved you
it was like a dream, the dance we shared
but you chose the road less traveled
a choice without affair
and now I sing Daniel's song
a song about you and me
Fort Jackson seems so far away now
memories of a love that could never be
do the stars over Korea look like Lubbock
does the moon ever make you sad
do you ever smile when you think about me
and all the times we've had
I think of you in the middle of the night
or when I hear a certain song
I can still see your bright smile
and the lips I was never meant to touch
and now I sing Daniel's song
a song about you and me
Fort Jackson seems so far away now
memories of a love that could never be

you wanted to know all my fantasies
and in you I could see them all come true
but how could I tell you that you were the one
I wish I could give my life to
you said I should be glad for the journey
not quite knowing how it all would end
my life in a world so far away from yours
a heart too lonely for you to comprehend

and now I sing Daniel's song
a song about you and me
Fort Jackson seems so far away now
memories of a love that could never be
