Lyrics

For all my travels in cities I've found
For all the people I've met
They've never held a candle to your memory
For all the books and the stories I've read
For essays and poems profound
They've never spoken to me like you

And I've touched the holy temples of the pharoh
I've wandered dusty trailways through the clouds
But even as I wandered, I'd wonder what you'd think of it all
and I'd wonder where you were.

In all of the years that have passed since you left
Forever a seldom mistake
You sat upon my shoulder with
that look upon your face
You always wanted the best for me then
I'm sure that you'd want it today
You'll always be the best of them
It's a curse I cannot shake
