Contrails

It was a lovely moment
That grew to be our thing
Not disturbed by angry voices
Or the telephone's ring

A time and place for me and you
Private and perfect, you know
Where we'd stop for our moment
And it would be just so

We'd look at all the contrails
Streaking out across the sky
I'd see the fascination
From the glazed look in your eye

We'd stare at all the contrails
I still look at them today
I don't know where they are headed
But I wonder where you are this day

Time moved on, we grew apart
But not because of you or me
Call it just one of those things
How it was really meant to be

And now when I look toward the sky
As the planes rush overhead
I still remember how we smiled
And all the things we said

We'd look at all the contrails
Streaking out across the sky
I'd see the fascination
From the glazed look in your eye

We'd stare at all the contrails
I still look at them today
I don't know where they are headed
But I wonder where you are this day
