I used to think that being alone would somehow simplify my life But I really know myself and I know I'm going miss tonight Talking on the telephone or having all the postage paid Will never make me feel as good as walking on those river banks Laughing like two little kids sitting in the back of class The only thing that's on my mind is how to make this moment last So I pulled my camera out and aimed it at your smiling face All the while we hear the sound of our time ticking away I used to think that being in love would somehow complicate my life But I really know my heart and I can hear yours beat with mine Pounding on piano keys and strumming those old copper strings Will always make me feel like your standing right there next to me Singing like two little kids waiting for the rain to pass The only thing that's on my mind is how to make this moment last So I pulled my feelings out and left them in your travel case All the while we hear the sound of our time ticking away If I was a rich man I would bring my friends along We'd move up to the mountains and record a hundred songs But since my wallet's empty and I have these lines to sing Just know that I will see you all when I close my eyes and dream I will see you Joseph with that child light in your eyes Standing in the moonlight staring up at all the stars We'll be with Piana as she plays those organ keys And we'll all become kids again and laugh out loud until our hearts are free Just her and him Her and him and me
