I use to sit in church and dream, I’d be dreaming of you,

I still do, anytime anyplace, no matter what I still do,

Many places my old bones have roamed with you near,

My flame, the one my heart beats with, you are my dear,

As sea shores weather the storm I weathered too much,

Beaten down and washed away I shouldn’t reveal such,

Turn on the radio and interrupt thoughts of hard days,

Too many protest oldies returns me to wars nasty haze,

No your sister didn’t lie and your mama didn’t believe,

Your mama read my letters but wasn’t willing to retrieve,

Tears fell from hardship eyes lost for too long in a mess,

My heart barely survived but for a glimmer of hope I confess,

Today I’m still burdened with pains that last too long,

You are timeless in eyes that seems to cry with a song,

Somehow I’m going to find the vision that’s fading away,

You are timeless in a heart that sees an angel every day,

I’m here at the beginning of the end every time it starts,

Things keep slowing down then become broken parts,

Sunshine is you no doubt please shine upon me tonight,

For you are the light, you are my wonderful guiding light.
