Carved into sand
We formed a plan
Using the branches you found near the beach
You showed me dreams
I couldn't conceive
Not until you described them to me

They were my mage
Broadened my stage
Weaving those spells that would captivate me
Carrying my mind
Along for the ride
With the stories that made me believe

Who, hoo, hoo
Might I embody to be?
You, hoo, hoo
Fit brand-new lenses on me

The water was cold
Up to my throat
Gasping, I found it was so hard to breathe
You calmed my nerves
More than I deserved
When you passed your arms around me

I hardly moved
Yet I soared through
Feelings and memories I'll never describe
But what I can say
Is that warmth you gave
Cleared the mountains of thoughts from my mind

Who, hoo, hoo
Might we evolve to be?
You, hoo, hoo
Caused an expansion so free

As we grow less young
Songs that were sung
Remain as ghosts in the stairs and the walls
As my hands lose grip
We might just sit
To take in the colors of fall

With these frail palms
We can still go
Back through these photos, moments of life
Snapshots we lived
We were once kids
Holding both hands in the night

Who, hoo, hoo
Brought such an angel to me?
You, hoo, hoo
Are everything to me
