You Never Leave My Heart

I was standing on the sidewalk, the wind swept me off the ground
 Flying like an airplane, felt like the speed of sound
 Past the moon, through the darkness, it took me back in time
 I landed on my old front porch, in 1999
 There was joy in the kitchen, but sadness in the eyes
 All the people standing around, telling stories I recognize
 Almost 20 years since the last time we spoke
 We were eating at the airport. I was laughing at your jokes
 And you, you never leave my heart
 You never leave my heart
 I saw myself talking to old friends, that I haven't seen in years
 One moved away to LA, one's a real estate financier
 The reverend held court in the corner. Mom cried with all who came
 When I went to bed that evening, I had never felt so strange
 And you, you never leave my heart
 You never leave my heart
 I disappeared back into the darkness, the wind flew me home
 Still standing on the sidewalk, confused and alone
 It's always a benediction, to be reminded that you're gone
 You're a truth and a fiction, a vision and a song
 And you, you never leave my heart
 You never leave my heart
 You never leave my heart
 You never leave my heart
 You never leave my heart
 You never leave my heart
 You never leave my heart
