When I was fifteen
I saw you on TV
I felt that you knew me
You’re saying it to me
When I had grown up
Or when I was older
And all that I know now
Is nothing beside how
I would have said it to you
Today I was thinking
Of something that’s missing
Something unfinished
That never continued
Now that I want to
Where do I find you?
What happened about you?
And where did you get to?
And did it turn out alright?
Through those many years
I wish I’d made some sort of sign
Just some clumsy kind of move
To see if I could ever find
Where you had gone
Will you fly high
Climbing through the blue sky
I’ll see you through my closed eyes
Way above the world
Will you please say
I will see you some day
On a superhighway
Heading for the sun
Heading for the sun
Missed the connection
Lost the direction
Dreaming of something
Was better than nothing
Never forgotten
The memory frozen
Never forgotten
Only grew older
When I was fifteen
When I was thirty
When I was fifty
When I was sixty
And now that I’ve found you
And now that it’s over
I’ll tell you about things
And all that drifted away
Will you fly high
Climbing through the blue sky
I’ll see you through my closed eyes
Way above the world
Will you please say
I will see you some day
On a superhighway
Heading for the sun
Will you fly high
Climbing through the blue sky
I’ll see you through my closed eyes
Way above the world
Will you please say
I will see you some day
On a superhighway
Heading for the sun
Heading for the sun
