Far, Far Away - A Song

This is my first time ever posting one of my songs. They aren't what most people would like, so I've never really been brave enough to do anything but talk about posting them before. But I'm still not. I would like to take this moment, before I post the song lyrics, to give the source of this. Another blogger - someone whose blog title could've told me that she was a fellow out there somewhere - started a while back posting her own songs. She wrote them, and yet still let them out, and to her I am very grateful. Thank you, Lilah, the Singing Writer, for paving the way! And thank you for all the beautiful songs you wrote - I've loved the ones I've read, and I hope that a stranger like me won't embarrass you in saying thank you so very distantly. And this song is also in thank you to everyone who has ever helped me out with my music - my friend in VA, my aunt, and my wonderful music teacher who has taught me so much. And also, if he is listening, which I doubt, a bright-haired, brown-eyed little rascally boy who has so reluctantly inspired many an idea for me. :)

Verse 1

When I close my eyes, I see it clear as day,

And when the sunlight dies, the dream is there to stay -

I only know

Somehow, it's there,

I only know

It's waiting for me somewhere.

Refrain

Far, Far Away,

Beyond what I can see,

I know my home

Is waiting there for me -

Someday I'll go back,

Chasing the running day,

But for a little while,

I'm far, far away.

Verse 2

I see the golden smile

That now lights a known face,

And after this small while,

That smile my hand will trace-

I only know

I love the sight so well,

I only long

For it more than I can tell.

-To Refrain-

Bridge

I promise you, never

Will my thoughts be severed

From my love so far away,

But promise me too, home,

That you'll stay my true home

Until this earth's last day.

Refrain

Far, far away,

Beyond what I can see,

I know my home

Is waiting there for me -

Someday I'll be back,

Though my heart always did stay -

And then I'll never leave

To far, so far away.
