On My Way To You

On my way to you 

I drove the canyon road

through forests red and gold

with green leaves dead and dying

Fall fury sent them flying

as they rained on me like multi-colored snow,

I tipped my hat and gave thanks for the show

as i will sometimes do

on my way to you.

On my way to you

the waves crashed loud and strong

and screamed I don't belong

but the sea could not compete

with no excuses for defeat

and spirit strong to help to guide the way,

I sailed on and gave thanks for the day

as I will sometimes do

on my way to you.

All the things I see 

right in front of me

I turn them into songs of love for you.

On my way to you,

the dream of a thousand nights

that dance under moon so bright

that look from across the room

the fear of loss too soon

when we held hands until your time to go,

now I lay your favorite flower in the snow

as I will sometimes do

on my way to you.
