Daniel Lyrics
[Chorus]
Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
[Verse 1]
They say Spain is pretty though I've never been
Well Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen, oh
He should know, he's been there enough
Lord I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much, oh
[Chorus]
Daniel my brother, you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal?
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky
Ohh, hmm
[Chorus]
Oh Daniel my brother, you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal?
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky
[Outro]
Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
And I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eye
