As I a-rise the morning air Breathes the silent song to me And sings it's melody of Spring It's then my thoughts return to you Compare the star light and the sun They glow and twinkle in the sky Though they glitter all the time They do not shine as bright as you I hear the patter of the rain It drops upon the falling leaves Reminding me of days gone by And of the sadness in your tears My hand is heavy as I write this song For all too soon it has to end You must go where time will lead And I can't follow where you go
