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 wondered what happened
To all the dreams that 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 do it I know you will feel much better
Knowing I am 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 are 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 dreams we thought we’d do
I know we’ve changed but I still miss you
