Mackenzie Phillips - While I Stare Lyrics

I woke up this morning
And looked out the window
And smiled with a tear in my eye

Reflections of you
Silhouetted by dawn
Painted by clouds in the sky

I can't change where we've been
And I can't change who we are
And I can't explain
All the things that we've seen
Or the reason we've travelled so far

But I can picture the moments
Passing by me while
I stare
At the memory of yesterday
That only you and I
Can share

We can share

I stand here reflecting
Reliving, connecting
In every direction I look

A story unfolds
Of a road painted gold
In a chapter that's missing it's book

I can't change where we've been
And I can't change who we are
And I can't explain
All the things that we've seen
Or the reason we've travelled so far

But I can picture the moments
Passing by me while
I stare
At the memory of yesterday
That only you and I
Can share

I can picture the moments
Passing by me while
I stare
At the memory of yesterday
That only you and I
Can share

We can share
We can share
We can share
