Carrying You

1. I can see the shining light
Between the earth and sky
Love is in the open air
Because I know that you're out there.

And I long for you, my dear
It's almost as though you're here
My feeling for you will start to grow
As I gaze into the glow.

Gather everything you need
To set out on a journey
Let these necessities
Lead us on our way.

[Chorus:]
My father has handed me down
His impassioned soul
My mother has passed me down
Her look in her eyes.

2. And so the world will turn
As it keeps you out of sight
These eyes are shining bright
Along with these glittering lights.

And so the world will turn
Carrying you on its back
Carrying the two of us
We may be able to meet up someday.

[Coda:]
And so the world will turn
As it keeps you out of sight
These eyes are shining bright
Along with these glittering lights.

And so the world will turn
Carrying you on its back
Carrying the two of us
We may be able to meet up someday.
