lyrics

For Valerie

How fragile we all are,
all the little bits inside.
The boulder upon the shore
crumbles shaking to the tide.
And that is how most of us go,
not a thunder-crack in flight
but a chorus fading slowly
into dark, unending night.

It's a stranger thing to know
than the cosmos in the sky,
than the ocean depths below,
than a newborn baby's sigh
and it's a wondrous thing to see
things we cannot comprehend,
why the pyramids are standing,
how a rainbow has no end.

You are so dear to me
though, sometimes it is hard to say.
While we prepare for tomorrow,
life is happening today.
Come on now, let's not look back
over all of our mistakes.
Let's try only to look forward.
What good come to those who wait.

So hold me now and hold me close
why we still remember why
all the little things have purpose,
while we aren't afraid of time.

and love's a stranger thing to know
than the cosmos in the sky,
than the ocean depths below,
than a newborn baby's sigh.

And although I love you so,
even stars, someday, will die.
