I'm really starting to know The back of this car in front of me And all I see Are two tail lights where your eyes should be Driving to a place I've been dying to see Oh, here come memories They toss me like the sea "You always said I made everything look easy But I must confess I've tried pretty hard to do so" My pen starts to write These words tonight There's a picture of you on my dashboard I close my eyes You were a wave A bird in flight A gentle breeze A warm and scarlet night I was the shore A lonely tree All along your home was there Inside of me But, you know Come little bird let's make up for lost time One day I'll be yours and one day you'll be mine One day I'll see you through older eyes One day we'll look back at this and smile

Slow down Speed things up Here it comes What have you done? The wind's blowing west Throw caution and hope for the best Cause you'll never be ready If ready's still waiting for it You can try to make your plans Hold on tight with your hands But if you don't believe in change You will never understand A deep red like the sun As it's pulled over the sea Just like you were Pulled away from me But the summer came and went And all that was left Were memories Of what we used to be You can try to make your plans Hold on tight with your hands But if you don't believe in change You will never understand You can try to make your plans Hold on tight with your hands You say you don't believe in change You will never understand Yeah you can try to hold all the sand! Keep time in the palm of your hand But if the boat's not built to leave land!

Time takes what it wills Makes new things grow old But when it takes away your love The tear makes a hole And all you thought you knew Starts to pour out of you Till you're left with the blinding truth It's time to let go (Can't let go) (Can't let go) I once was one Who was falling in love Now I'm simply Falling alone I used to sleep So safe and sound Now I can't figure out What's keeping me awake (Slipping away) (Slipping away)

My clammy hands The sadness in her eyes She knew I was leaving It was only a matter of time I said, "I've had a wonderful life And before I go I'll tell you why It was you, it's you Don't cry, don't cry Because it's you, it's you Apple of my eye" She said, "All my life I've watched you grow Into a man And now here we stand Hand-in-hand I can't let go I can't let go" I think about All the things that you have said Everyday So don't worry when You're standing over my empty bed I'm okay And I thank you that You heard our Father's call And found the truth Because the life that lives in you Live in me too You think salvation is enough I don't know why He chose to bless me with you Apple of my eye And all my life I've watched you Watching me grow And in this heart Is so much love You'll never know Yeah, she said, "All my life I've watched you grow Into a man And now here we stand Hand-in-hand I can't let go" Oh, don't let go Don't let go Don't let go I won't let go of you, of you Don't cry, don't cry Because it's you, it's you Apple of my eye
