for your sky is blue

I know not how to lift your spirits
Nor do I know how to make you smile
Even so, I pray night and day, day and night
That you can make it through the trials

When it comes down to you and me
There is a difference much too large
You and I stand on the edges of two cliffs
Between us lies the vastness of space and its stars

Yet you, with your sky of blue, can see me
And I, with the tears I cry, can see you

I wish I could send you the brightest pair of wings
Package them in a box and send them across to you
To you, with your sky of blue, as a small gift from me

I wish I could help you soar with those wings
Maybe then you could smile again
If only I could help you, with your sky of blue
Perhaps you will be able to smile then

But there's a distance here on these cliffs
And it lies between you and I
It's much too large, much too big
It's just as vast as the sky

Yet you, with your sky of blue, can see me
And I, with the tears I cry, can see you

I wish things weren't so awkward or so odd
So that I could send my care without second thought
And maybe then, just perhaps, it wouldn't be so hard to talk

I think there is a chance, perhaps, maybe
I just really am taking this in too deep
I'm lifting up my hopes, higher than the sky
I'm going to lift my dreams because I can fly

This distance cannot be crossed
There's just no possible way
Even if I could have wings
There's no chance I would be safe

For you, with your sky of blue, can see the truth
And I, with the tears I cry, can feel the truth
