Where do I start?

I've been meaning to say some things that's long overdue

I have been taking my time

Every New Year I think about tracking you down

When the snow melts

Not again until autumn rolls around



Would it be too unexpected to hear from me again

For the first time?

Just enough to say I'm doing alright



I think I owe you one for this

A brief history of everywhere I've been

Wherever you are now it goes on and on



What have I got?

It's easy to see

Just look at all of my friends

They have been with me for so long

My family will always welcome me home

From the road

They say I've made them all so proud

For 24 years now



Would you find it too intrusive

To ask for just five minutes of your time?

Just enough to say I'm doing alright



I think I owe you one for this

A brief history of everywhere I've been

Wherever you are now it goes on and on

I think I owe you one for this

Wherever love is found

It will cross distances

Wherever you are now

It goes on and on



Hold back emotion

And just let it happen

I'll let the stereo play

While I wait for your reaction



It's not a likeness that I'm searching for

Or a reconnection

More an exchange of words

Unlike an explanation

I'll say, "Can you see the stars?

I see them every night

Above the wind and rain

Below those city lights"



You won't have to say a word

I wouldn't trade this for the world

You won't have to say a word

I wouldn't trade this for the world

You won't have to say a word

I wouldn't trade this for the world

You won't have to say a word

I wouldn't trade this for the world
