The Name on Page One



It seems that your name is still in there
On page one of my address book
Before all the letters and personal info
The first name on page one is you

I bought a new book to replace it
And transferred the names one by one
And before all the letters and personal info
Your name is still there on page one.

Been awhile since I dialed that number
I wonder if it’s any good
It’s a key to my memories of love, hope and faith
Which I’d like to return to, if I could .

What I want to return to is the feeling
The sunshine and warmth that love brings
To wake up each morning with love in my heart
And the feeling that it’s given me wings.

The roads we have taken have parted
But who knows what they do up ahead
Do they get further and further apart from each other
Or will they once more, by chance, cross instead .

As long as your name is still in there
On page one of my address book
There’s a chance, I must say
If our paths cross some day
But I think that it’s most up to you
