Nanci Griffith - Morning Song For Sally lyrics

As the morning light stretched
In across my bed i thought of you
Mm hmm remembering your laughing eyes and
All we said i love you too
Mm hmm as all my thoughts of you pass
'fore my face a thousand times
The way they race my heart
I cannot say it all in lines

How the short time together lasts so long
Makes me strong mm hmm
As two weeks came and went then
You and I were gone living on
Mm hmm for it seems our love was destined
To be caught in other nets
But the love we held so brief
I'd chance again without regret

Yes, standing by the road has
Been my song before much too long
Mm hmm but now somehow I'm forced to
See me there once more and that's the song
Mm hmm for my waking thoughts of you are
But extensions of the dream
Without you here beside me
I'll never know all that they mean

As the morning light stretched
In across my bed i thought of you
Mm hmm remembering your laughing eyes and
All we said i love you too
Mm hmm and as all my thoughts of you pass
'fore my face a thousand times
The way you race my heart
I cannot say it all in lines
