What do we call a shadow of light
Casting a day's ray of hope?
When can we call a memory in flight
To our side, by our wills, envelope?

That you don't then come around that corner
Is confusing but really all right
It makes my day a little warmer
It reminds me of you in the night

And what would I call a shadow in flight
That visits without my bidding?
It's only my mind, my memory's light
But I can feel you right there within

What do I know of the way that you seem
To follow wherever I go?
Either I'm sick and deluded - or -
We'd found something people rarely know

What do I call your shadow at night
When it seems realer than everything else
What do I call your unfading memory
While I wait for these dreams to condense?

However they answer they're a blessing of life
A way we can join souls together
Even if it's only your smile
I'll feel it across me forever

What do we call a shadow of light?
