Once In A While

(album: Let The Picture Paint Itself - 1994)

Once in a while when the wind lies sleeping
Deep in the night there's a silent light
That glows in my heart just barely a spark a gentle reminder of you
Sometimes I walk where the streets hang empty
Far from the crowd where the shadows fall
I sample the sound of the rain falling down and let go the past

And once in a while I still can smile
And face the day in a better way it's true
Once in a while I'm still in love with you

There will be times when the grey clouds come
They'll cover the sky try to hide the sun
They'll stand in my way but I'll make it okay I'm living this life after you
Sometimes I walk where the sea meets the river
I carry a torch calling out your name
I'll savor the sound of the waves as they pound and let go the mask

And once in a while I still can smile
And face the day in a better way it's true
Once in a while I'm still in love with you
Once in a while, once in a while I'm still in love with you
