An Echo in the Night

Written for my favorite musician.

Stand tall and tell all,
you have met an amazing girl
who makes your head whirl.

Don't hide, don't hide a special thing,
accept it in your life and hope it brings
happiness and bliss,
bliss that you'll surely miss,

the moment she's out of sight,
the moment she walks out into the night.

I don't stand tall.
I don't tell all.
I hide. I hide! Why do I hide?

Something is wrong; something is not right
as I watch her walk out into the night.
When she is a silhouette in the distance,
every muscle in my body becomes tense.

My heart cries out don't go.
Don't go.
Don't go.
It's only an echo.

My lips still tremble from her kiss,
if that's not bliss, what is?
Come back, I plead,
please come back!

The words float in the breeze,
and bounce off the trees…
an echo in the night,
only an echo in the night.
