Song of the Stone

Lyrics

Song of the Stone Words and Music by James Horning Love, oh my love good to see you again I was wonderin? when you would come stop in I?ve waited for what seems like months upon end And you come with a gray face and tears again It?s okay to cry there?s a season and time But winter is over and spring is alive My love I won?t fault you if you smile today I?ll be smiling too, love, it?s okay chorus It?s okay to laugh and to skip and to dance It?s alright to exchange a flirtatious glance Feel free to fall in love, it's okay to do Just remember, I will always be with you. verse Thanks for the talk, thanks for living me still Don?t worry I know that you always will You?re skin looks so soft and your cheeks slightly flush Oh you?re leaving so soon? Why such a rush? chorus 2 Rush off with teardrops kissing the ground Deep is your crying it carries the sound Of a heart that is mourning the loss of one dear Don?t stop your life just because I?m not here verse I held your heart in the palm of my hand I Never thought I would let go But sometimes things happen that no one can change It?s the sad solemn song of the stone - the song of the stone verse You can leave me roses and poems and tears Place them by the stone and waste all your years This lesson, My Precious, I want you to know It's time to move on, it hurts but please go chorus (repeat) It?s okay to laugh and to skip and to dance It?s alright to exchange a flirtatious glance Feel free to fall in love, it's okay to do Just remember, I will always be with you altro
