It's three A.M.; again, my Love, I've awoken from such a lovely "dream"
After all of this time, you remain here; I still feel your constant presence
In this vivid "dream", we've rekindled our first intimate moment together
It was fifteen years ago last night you gave to me, my true womanhood
It is Wednesday today; should go to work, I'll find an excuse not to show
It's dark outside; think I'll get dressed, jump into the car and go for a ride
I find myself driving to my mountain, as I always do when solace I seek
It's odd how I seem drawn to that place, where once I nearly lost my life
On the dark winding road, I glance at the spot, where once my spirit hovered
Thinking back on that tragic accident, I feel such an odd sense of peace
A gift it was; that glimpse what was to come, that calmed my deepest fear
Now "our number" you've scarred into my flesh has left me with no doubt
Many a time, I have questioned if what had happened was merely a dream
As I watched from above and felt that 'love light' call; yes, then I truly knew
I now know for sure, what I've heard is true; that death is nothing to fear
When it's our time to pass, we simply move on; we will continue to exist!
Here on the mountain top; parked at the lot, off to climb my favorite trail
The air is crisp, the Aspens so beautiful; the wind rustles through the leaves
As this mountain comes to life, I sit in our spot as the sun begins to rise
I'd give the world to be holding your hand; this day on the 40th year of your birth!
As the sun glows orange 'cross the neon desert, can you see it through my eyes?
As I press my fingers into the damp earth, can you feel the cold in my touch?
As I breathe in the sweetness of the fresh air, can you smell it? Isn't it divine?
As I close these tearful eyes; tightly holding myself, can you feel my emptiness?
Last night as you made love to me, did you feel how my heart ached for you?
As our fingers were tightly entwined, could you still feel that magical warmth?
Do you still feel that desperate hunger you felt for me like you did so long ago?
Is that why your spirit still lingers here; why you can't set yourself free to move on?
Well, my precious Love, on this glorious day, I will dedicate this one to you
I will drive on back home and go back to bed; fall back into very deep sleep
And again we will meet in our private place, where we can share this special day
I'd give anything for you to be alive and feel the warmth of your tender touch
I'll simply go home, fall into sweet slumber and meet you again in my dreams
I'm so grateful you've stayed here with me; thank you for this precious gift
Happy Birthday, Russell!
