Our love is like an evergreen reaching for the sky... it started as a seedling when I first looked into your eyes. Something everlasting was planted on that day and it nourishes the heart whether near or far away. Our love is like an evergreen reaching for the sky... I never dreamed there'd be a time when we would have to say goodbye. I watch the birds sheltered in the branches and I'm grateful for the time we shared life's dances. Our love is like an evergreen reaching for the sky... weathering every storm of tears that pour from my eyes. When I feel an empty space in this aching heart of mine... I know someday in those skies our branches will again intertwine. Our love is like an evergreen reaching for the sky... what we shared together never really dies. While you sail on heaven's lovely sea of tides I know that, like the evergreen, here I must abide. Our love is like an evergreen reaching for the sky... And I can hear the wind whisper, please don't cry. The sentinel evergreen who stands so tall and waits is the messenger who tells me you'll be there at heaven's gates. © Connie Good
