Old Lace (To John)

Daybreak touches my face, gently like the feel of old lace
Sun kisses me just like you, and reminds me of the things that you do
Love, want filled in your eyes, tells me that you tell me no lies
And when you say that you care, I no longer need to ask why or where

But can't you see we're living in a dream
High above the clouds so very high it would seem
And since into this life we're born with no right to choose
Like always there comes a time when it's no longer used

I wonder now how long our together can last
I think about the future right now not seasons past
Don't you know that when you've gone in silence I'll cry
It's gonna be hard but we simply have to say goodbye
Daybreak touches my face, gently like the feel of old lace
Sun kisses me just like you, and reminds me of the things that you do

But now you see we're living in a dream
High above the clouds so very high it would seem
And since into this life we're born with no right to choose
Like always there comes a time when it's no longer used
Like always there comes a time when it's value we lose
