Press my face to the window
As you fade outta sight
Try to tell myself it won't be long
And everything will be all right
I feel her touch upon my shoulder,
Her lips brush my ear
I can't believe we'll be apart,
I won't survive the year
But then I see, sparkling in the moonlight
The most precious jewel in all the world
Slipping down her face
I never knew what a single tear could do
It can rock you its arms
Keep you safe all through the night
I never knew what a single tear could do
Give you hope until the early morning light
Now she's running beside me
As my train pulls away
Our fingertips touch through the glass
Our eyes meet one last time
And I can see that her heart is breaking
But then she smiles, like the dawning of the sun
Because she sees sparkling in the moonlight
The most precious jewel in all the world
Slipping down my face
I've got her picture, in a tiny golden frame
A frozen moment trapped in time
Can't compare to being there
