Beautiful Town

You deserved a deep goodbye I didn't think to give it I needed that deep goodbye But I didn't know it On our rare, our blinking visits, You still feel like mine I recall your flower street names We wondered from outside the Holy Land Which flower would become our home Where patchwork quilts would soften our nights Hear how free and how big laughter becomes When the heart swells with hope Beautiful Town, thank you For a dream come true You are a crack in my heart But maybe I believe more in dreams come true Because of you Your lake with its blue-railed bridges An oasis flowing with roses I never got enough of them Their softness and their different fragrances I looked up at the glinting leaves I saw a gate to God's love Our youngest boy rode the pony Grinning, he still dreams about horses We almost bought a home nearby With a treehouse and untrimmed wildflowers A few days of a dream that felt perfect Were so sweet, so sweet Beautiful Town, thank you For a dream come true You are a crack in my heart Yet maybe I believe more in dreams come true Because of you Next to our house, a hill of pines We walked in their scent, in the warm breeze The new bikes we rode there some days The many directions that we could take Like to the park with a zip line in the clouds Flying higher than pain Visiting, we found things had changed Steps, brilliant fish, and lily pads They welcome people to the lake I felt proud of that, though it might sound strange Maybe I won't say goodbye after all See you later, instead See you later... In a way you can stay mine I am not the same as before You brought good to me Did I bring some good to you, Beautiful town? Beautiful Town, thank you For a dream come true You are a crack in my heart Yet maybe I believe more in dreams come true Because of you
