Today I saw someone from behind, I
thought of you
My heart beat uneven when I recalled the time we knew
You would have been laughing if you had seen me stand and stare
I wonder what happened to all the dreams we thought we’d do
I know we’ve changed but I still miss you
Sit down and write me a letter, tell me what’s going on
If you’ll do it, I know you’ll feel much better
Knowing I’m not so alone
Don’t stay incommunicado, give it another whirl
I wish you’d open your window just a little
Send your breeze around the world
Sometimes I start thinking, oh, then I remember when
We all were just children blowing dandelions in summer wind
No matter how long it’s been since I have seen your face
I still smell the summer hay
And the backyard fire we lit that day
We took off running in several ways
They told your grandma, we got found out
I miss having someone to laugh with about it
Good friends, old souls, we were planted long ago
Deep roots, long limbs for waving in the howling wind
I’ll always think of you in a kind and gentle way
We’re not yet through with all the things we thought we’d do
I know we’ve changed but I still miss you
