I never knew the dusk could seem so sad,
an empty aching in my soul.
In this bright hour I speak your name in the wind,
the shining world outlasts us all.
Even the mountains seem to know you`re gone,
the foothills shimmer where they stand.
The sky is still and much too beautiful,
and I am missing you again.
Lift me over the San Gabriels, leaning into the southern sky.
The foothills burning in the afterglow, an angel fire passing by.
I think of songs I might have sung to you,
the love I wanted you to hear.
Everytime the blazing sun goes down,
another promise disappears.
I never knew the dusk could break my heart,
so much longing folding in,
I`d give years away to have you here,
you know I can`t lose you again.
Lift me over the San Gabriels, leaning into the southern sky.
A flight of angels must be in the wind,
I know they`ll pass this way tonight.
Help me remember the San Gabriels, the foothills burning in the light.
Let my heart rise up to where you are, I long to be with you tonight.
I long to be with you tonight, I long to be with you tonight
