A cooling breeze was blowing

And it was softly snowing

And everywhere I could see stars

In the distance I heard a whispering

Then I felt your breath whistling

Up my back and my spine

And into my mind

I asked you “How have you been?”

You started crying

Didn’t know what to say

Finally you asked me, “How are you?”

I told you something but it was untrue

I said I was fine

Didn’t want to trouble you with my troubled mind

We talked for a while

I confess, it was a pretty good time

But the night draws in and morning begins…

Wake up, I’ve lost my dreams and my friends

Don’t think that I can go through that again

Try to move on and get on with my day

Act like an actor in some stupid play

Lie to myself for my own mеntal health

That night I saw you again

You said, “You look like you could use a friеnd,”

I said, “Yes I could and how have you been?”

You said, “Fine, if a little lonesome,”

I said, “I’ve been lonesome too

Let’s go somewhere and I’ll be lonesome with you.”

Walked on the side of the highway

Where I meet your ghost as night turned to day

Everything seemed perfect and serene

Almost like it was—

Well, it was a dream!

I said something

And you said something too

And I said “I think I’d like to stay here a while with you,”

We stayed a while

And I couldn’t help myself but to

Smile
