The Hudson River
My hands tremble as they turn to a single page in the book of my embarrassing memories.When I seek happiness, after all’s said and done, it always leads me back to you.Humming an old tune as I keep moving forward, I spy a face that I thought I’d seen somewhere long ago.If I leave them alone, I’m sure soon enough they will disappear from view.
Crickets sing as the night breaks over these interlocking streets.I never wanted to let go of the hand I was clinging tight to.Where did the person who always gave me their support disappear to?
Laughing together brought me so much happiness. I felt close to you when we forgave each other.All of those little joys were small enough that you might not see them ‘til it’s too late.Fireworks burst over the Hudson River. Until they all go out, I will keep heading to you.The moment between the seasons as they change was more beautiful than them all combined.
Lanterns illuminate the scarf around my neck, casting a crimson shadow on the ground below.There the shadow lingers forever and ever in the depths of my beating heart.
The two of them burst out laughing at the city’s static scenery.The only things that really changed were the two of us all along.How long has it been since we started seeing everything so vividly?
Bonds that let us speak whatever was on our minds. Kindness piled high on top of each other.So many trivial things were small enough you might forget they were ever there.Fireworks burst over the Hudson River. Until they all go out, I will keep heading to you.Because we know deep down that we can’t stop the seasons from marching onward along with time.
I burn for you with all the unyielding passion of an insect drawn to a brilliant flame.If I could just live honestly, saying what I really mean, I’d ditch the part of me that acts stronger than I really am
The only thing that I’ve ever truly wanted was to see that beautiful smile one more time.And if I could, I know that no matter how far, I would walk to the ends of the earth.Fireworks burst over the Hudson River. We met and parted ways just beneath their gorgeous light.Could you hear my words that night, as I thanked you for all the wonderful things you gave to me?
