blowing through the meadow where you play
The smell of honeysuckle fills
the air here on the plain
The cowbell in the distance
whispers lightly in my ear
And if I sit here quietly I
Music bubbled in your blood
and grew out of your soul
And childhood then came quickly
with the calling of the road
A gift you had, you had to share,
that's what it was meant to be
You played the songs on your guitar,
So long for a little while,
Somewhere between the moon and the stars,
There we'll share a memory
for every tear we've cried
And life was like a river you
could hardly wait to swim
You dove headfirst into it,
splashing back and forth again
You wrapped your arms around
your time and throughout all the years
You played the songs your fingers
heard in laughter and in tears
So long for a little while,
Somewhere between the moon and stars,
There we'll share a memory
for every tear we've cried
I sit here in this garden
wondering why you had to go
Your memory reigns in my mind
We all get such a little time to
I know you'd probably smile and
say you got your money's worth
So long for a little while
Somewhere between the moon and the stars,
And there we'll share a memory
for every tear we've cried
So long for a little while,
So long for a little while,
