Often on rainy nights like this
It's  your face that I see
Green-grey eyes boring through my soul

And I remember all those special moments
Of shared laughter and forgotten years

Its during these lonely nights
That I long for you with all of me
As I paint our pictures in bright Autumn
colours

How we used to play in the park
And ran through flowery fields of yellow sun

Sometimes on nights when all stars are gone
I search feverously for your eyes
And find them in passing shadows

Then you are right here with me
Your warm hands just holding mine

Often on rainy nights like these
It's your face that I see
And your voice still humming a bedtime story
