Story behind the song
I wrote this song in Yosemite valley on a camping trip.
Lyrics
V1
The truth is, that there’s so much more
That we could be hoping for
I stretch down and touch the sand
and dream about tomorrow
B1
(pause) I’m waiting for that day
(pause) when love will come my way
V2
across a great divide
we reach out for each other
when she takes my hand
I see into tomorrow
B2
(pause) finally today
(pause) it looks like love has come my way
C1
you are so nice
you bring something special
we make a fire
that lights up the sky
V3
move now before our time
slips out through the back door
just like a fading path
those days are gone behind us
C2
you are so nice
you bring something special
we make a fire
that lights up the sky
C3
you are so nice
you bring something special
we make a fire
that lights up the sky
C4

OUTRO
I’m waiting for that day . . . [repeat]
