You may be a million miles away

when you hear me say
I love you – I love youCome home – keep me from these sleepless nights
try my love again – umm ya
I’m gonna treat you right – umm ya
I’m gonna treat you rightSoundtrack to Dearest Milton James: Dearest Malachi Keogh by N.R. Walker
My Dear by The Tallest Man On Earth for a book about a man taking time to appreciate the colorful ray of sunshine with verbal diarrhea who changed his sensible, boring life.
My body’s with the birds in me
But my mind is with the times they’re leaving
I want them but I let them go
There’s a sparkle in the dust I breathe inMy morning is empty and the streets are wide
I look for nothing and I feel all right
Stillness in the ways I try
And then you walk on by -
Dearest – though you’re the nearest to my heart
please don’t ever – umm ya
ever say we’ll partYou scold and you were so bold
yes together – umm ya
our love will grow old – umm ya
our love will grow oldYou may be a million miles away
please believe me – umm ya
when you hear me say
I love you – I love youCome home – keep me from these sleepless nights
try my love again – umm ya
I’m gonna treat you right – umm ya
I’m gonna treat you rightMy body’s in the summer storm
And my mind is with the feeling after
Old memories I can’t let go
I’m moving on but they run fasterMy morning is empty and the streets are wide
I look for nothing and I feel all right
Stillness in the ways I try
And then you walk on byMy body says the water’s cold
But my mind will have a way to cross it
And I know I held the time so dear
And the feeling it was here, I lost itMy morning is empty and the streets are wide
I look for nothing and I feel all right
Stillness in the ways I try
And then you walk on byIn a patch in the forest
Little bells hang from the tree
And I ring them so gently
What if you heard me now, my dear?My body’s with the birds in me
But my mind is with the times they’re leaving
I want them but I let them go
There’s a sparkle in the dust I breathe inMy morning is empty and the streets are wide
I look for nothing and I feel all right
Stillness in the ways I try
And then you walk on byMy morning is empty and the streets are wide
I look for nothing and I feel all right, oh
Stillness in the ways I try
As I lean into the morning light
It’s like my body’s in some other town
And then you walk on by
