All Our Yearning Moments

At home, in a place I’ve never been before
Poplars standing guard while the waters roar
The spray is rising like a whispered prayer
And two jets passing high split the silent air
It’s the first time that I’ve felt the sun in days
I close my eyes and try to remember rain
It’s funny how each moment just goes past
It’s only in our hearts that we can make them last

So I think of you and you fill the space
That’s conjured by the beauty of thus place
I think of you and I know the time will come
When all our yearning moments will become one

A shadow flashes by to catch my eye
I look but find no reason in the sky
The singing trees offload their springtime seed
The willow’s tears are falling in the reeds
The scent of spring is hanging in the air
Sunlight on water sparkles everywhere
It’s strange how no two moments are the same
Especially when you try to love again

So I think of you and you fill the space
That’s conjured by the beauty of thus place
I think of you and I know the time will come
When all our yearning moments will become one

The torrent of this love goes on and on
Flows through hills and valleys till they’re gone
It’s memories that make our future path
And I’ll walk that path until I breathe my last
Yes I’ll walk that path until my future’s past

And I’ll think of you and you fill the space
That’s conjured by the beauty of this place
I think of you and I know the time will come
When all our yearning moments,
All our searching moments,
All our yearning moments will become one
