Distances and Miles

It's too late for any music
I've sung me my last song
And there's not a face left in the place
The people have all gone
Now I'll have one more Margarita
Mix it up in Texas-style
And I'll think of you with your eyes so blue
And go dreaming for a while

Now I still softly call your name
We still go stepping through the night
In the thunder and the rain
In the breathless morning light
And still that redbird sweetly sings
Across the distances and miles
Across the distances and miles
And on high and wondrous wings
There is a heart that dances

There were times when I'd forgotten
How to face another morn
And there were days when I thought the ways
Of love in life were gone
Then I came drifting dry and aimlessly
And there and then I found a friend
In Warm and willing arms

Now I still softly call your name
We still go stepping through the night
In the thunder and the rain
In the breathless morning light
And still that redbird sweetly sings
Across the distances and miles
Across the distances and miles
And on high and wondrous wings
There is a heart that dances

So if you ever hear this song
Down some long and lonely road
May it follow you, if you are blue
May it lighten up your road
For there is someone on that highway, too
Chasing dreams across the land
And, if he could be like some wind so free
He'd take you by your hand

And he would softly call your name
As you go stepping through the night
In the thunder and the rain
Until the breathless morning light
For still that redbird sweetly sings
Across the distances and miles
And on high and wondrous wings
There is a heart that dances, a heart that dances

For still that redbird sweetly sings
Across the distances and miles
And on high and wondrous wings
There is a heart that dances, a heart that dances
