I hope

I hope every time 
You see the stars at night
Painted on that black Texas sky 
You think of me 

I hope you think of me 
When you see the mountains 
And how they're framed by the sky

I hope when you hear the same songs 
And drive down that dusty dirt road 
You hear my voice in your head
Telling you the same stories as I once did 
As the breeze flows through your hair 
That color I always used to love 

And every time I see the color green 
I think of you 
I think of your eyes and the color of your room 
I think of you when the wind 
Whispers in my ear 
As it once did so long ago 

I think of you a lot in the fall 
And the spring 
For that's when it began 
And that's when it ended 

And I always think of that day 
And I hold it close to me 
For after I went away 
I knew nothing like that could stay the same 
And I hope once and a while 
You listen to the music I love 
And think of me in the same way
