Reflections of a short time ago
Maybe it’s the grounded leaves
Or the chilled breezes
Just a year ago or so

You said I made you happy baby.
Something I could never do before
Oh, how I wished
You had meant it, or it meant more

If you found me now, and you gave your hand
I’d take it.
I’d have to.
If you held me now, just a little while
I’d hold you.
I’d have to.

All the wrongs you said you’d right
I fell as a fool surely would
Where are you now
When it’s cold and dark at night

Fell for all of your magic voices
Slight of hand, disappearing acts
Was just a court jester
Falling for reckless heart tricks

If you found me now, and you gave your hand
I’d take it.
I’d have to.
If you held me now, just a little while
I’d hold you.
I’d have to.

I know better than to get to close
Burning fires, burnt leaves
Goint down dead end streets, damn
Dame this need in me, this ease in me

Maybe I gave you reasons
Lord knows you have enough
And each day I miss you
Maybe a little less than most

If you found me now, and you gave your hand
I’d take it.
I’d have to.
If you held me now, just a little while
I’d hold you.
I’d have to.

Just couldn’t sleep and my mind ends
Where your memory begins
Can hear you laughing
Heard you say you were happy

I guess I’ll keep thinking about you
Hope I find something else to do
No need for tricks, learn to live without you
Just wanted someone to smile, too
