A Shadow Crossed






A SHADOW CROSSED
 A shadow crossed my heart
When I left that sunny afternoon
A kiss kept me alive
On the lonely highway ride
Springtime had to end
I still have the sweetest friend
As summer falls to autumn
I worry if we’ll meet again
I feel you every day
We’re miles apart
I’m still afraid to say
What fills my heart
What is the chance
This ill fated romance
Is what we waited for
But we promised ourselves nevermore
And closed the door
You and I continue on
We’re never out of touch too long
Messages we write
Keep the two of us up all night
I feel you every day
 Now we’re miles apart
There’s something I should say
And it breaks my heart
He said, “She’s good”
And I thought, “I know”
Those eyes the lips that hair
There’s no one like her anywhere
But soon I’ll have to go
I should have stayed
Just for one more day
Walked you up the avenue
Made a longer rendezvous
Spent more time with you
