Sometimes I wonder

Those days, when she would sing and crie and sing; 

these days she will sing when she's stopped crying.

sometimes I wonder

if the wind just blows

to throw sand in my eyes

and if the sun only lightens

what I don't want to see

and if the rain wets my face

just to wash away my tears

sometimes I wonder

if the darkness is what I fear

'cause it hides you  from me.

and so I dream of the wind

and the sun and the rain  

the brightness of your smile

that is drying my tears,

the love in you eyes

that is lighting my view

and that I'll wake of my dream

and then I'll really see you.
