Lyrics

Song of the Stone
Words and Music by James Horning

Love, oh my love good to see you again
I was wonderin? when you would come stop in
I?ve waited for what seems like months upon end
And you come with a gray face and tears again

It?s okay to cry there?s a season and time
But winter is over and spring is alive
My love I won?t fault you if you smile today
I?ll be smiling too, love, it?s okay

chorus
It?s okay to laugh and to skip and to dance
It?s alright to exchange a flirtatious glance
Feel free to fall in love, it's okay to do
Just remember, I will always be with you.

verse
Thanks for the talk, thanks for living me still
Don?t worry I know that you always will
You?re skin looks so soft and your cheeks slightly flush
Oh you?re leaving so soon? Why such a rush?

chorus 2
Rush off with teardrops kissing the ground
Deep is your crying it carries the sound
Of a heart that is mourning the loss of one dear
Don?t stop your life just because I?m not here

verse
I held your heart in the palm of my hand
I Never thought I would let go
But sometimes things happen that no one can change
It?s the sad solemn song of the stone - the song of the stone

verse
You can leave me roses and poems and tears
Place them by the stone and waste all your years
This lesson, My Precious, I want you to know
It's time to move on, it hurts but please go

chorus (repeat)
It?s okay to laugh and to skip and to dance
It?s alright to exchange a flirtatious glance
Feel free to fall in love, it's okay to do
Just remember, I will always be with you
