lyrics

We haven’t seen the sun in days
They’re calling for more rain
The kids want to go outside and play
But I find these days they don’t complain

I think you know how much we miss you
How the house doesn’t get as warm
Oh how I want to be with you
Just a walk in the rain would do
Just to feel that light behind you eyes

I won’t forget those autumn evenings
I won’t forget September skies
I promised you I would remember
That light that shines behind your eyes

Some nights I wake up listening for you
I can hear you coming through the door
I hear you trying not to awaken me
Please forgive me if I want more

Sometimes I feel so angry
What I would give for a little more time
All the things we used to do
Talk about the kids in school
I can feel that light behind your eyes
