Old Lace (To John)

Daybreak touches my face gently like the feel of old lace
The sun kisses me just like you and reminds me of the things that you do
Loved one, filled in your eyes tells me that you tell me no lies
And when you say that you care, I no longer need to ask why or where
Can't you see we're living in a dream
High above the clouds so very high it would seem
And since into this life we're born with no right to choose
Like old lace there comes a time when it's no longer used

I wonder now how long our together can last
Think about the future and now not seasons passed
And don't you know, that when you've gone and silenced our cry
It's gonna be hard, but we simply have to say goodbye

Daybreak touches my face gently like the feel of old lace
The sun kisses me just like you and reminds me of the things that you do
But now you see we're living in a dream
High above the clouds so very high it would seem
And since into this life we're born with no right to choose
Like old lace there comes a time when it's no longer used
Like old lace there comes a time when its value we lose
