Lyrics
Gentle winds
a cloudy day
but still perfume fills the air
felt the rose
without the thorns
saw the sun without the glare
and when Saint Peter sees me smile
he'll know your love made it worthwhile
(chorus) when I close my eyes forever
I want you on my mind
when I close my eyes forever
to the darkness I'll be blind
always you're on my mind
when I close my eyes forever
when days grow short
and nights grow long
I won't fear what lies ahead
in my heart
you'll play the song
with thoughts of "I love you's in my head
(chorus)
(instrumental)
the life I lived
was partially full
but wouldn't change it if I could
I walked the steps
that led to you
in my silence you understood
and when Saint Peter sees me smile
he'll know your love made it worthwhile
(chorus)
