Flamingo Song

I want to write you something so profound it calls you to this plane If you hear the melody and my voice, could I see you smile again? If I write a letter, sing a song - will it draw you near? I don't know how else you'll grow to feel the love you left here I want to place a call the operator doesn't know where you've gone And my heart is heavy for I know life is short and so very long If I snap my fingers, clap my hands - will it draw you near? I don't know how else you'll grow to feel the love you left here If I sit here still, find words to fill the empty space Would it ease my conscience, take a little of your pain? The living keep living, and still I remain Smiling through these tears, cause you were here and I'm forever changed I hope you know, wherever we go, I'm glad I'm not the same
