JAKE’S SONG (Watching Over Me)

When I see blue, blue skies,
I recall your eyes
And I realize you're watching over me.
When I have my cloudy days,
And I can't break through this haze
I just count the ways you're watching over me.
The way the willow bends
Just to let that wind blow,
The way your story ends
And yet... I know
Though my doubts may appear,
My darling, it's so clear
You are here,
Watching over me

And when that boy became the man
And I let go of your hand,
I never planned you'd be watching over me.
And when there were no tears left to cry
And this river had run dry
I asked why you were watching over me.
But then each day that we knew
I replayed one by one
Because each one with you
Will not be undone.
My doubts may appear,
But my darling, it's clear
You are here,
Watching over me.

Now the years have flown
Just like grains of sand
Don’t ask me why
I am
Still in your hands.
And as the roses fade
And the petals do fall
It’s you in my heart,
With you in my heart
I’ve got it all…

When I see blue, blue skies.
I realize you’re still watching over me.
When I have my cloudy days
And I can’t break through this haze,
I count the ways you’re watching over me.
But each day that we knew,
I replay one by one
But each moment with you
Will not be undone.
My doubts may appear
But my darling, it’s all clear,
You are here watching over me.
Goodnight, darling.

~Jonathan Brielle & Carolyn Farb
