Perishable Proximity

The sign that the rain has finally cleared

Is the song of the birds that we’ve always cheered

The cicadas cry in the bright blue light

The sky is so dazzling, so warm and so bright

Let’s step outside, let’s go for a walk

Through the quiet streets, we’ll laugh and we’ll talk

How much longer can I stay here by your side?

Knowing one day there’ll be nowhere to hide

Someday the time will come when we must part

But right now, I hold you deep in my heart

That’s why I want to walk with you right now

I’ll stay beside you, that’s my silent vow

So let’s hold hands, let’s never let go

While the gentle winds of the morning blow

Just holding hands, right here, right now

The sign that the rain has left the night

Is the way that the stars are twinkling bright

The crescent moon is a bed in the sky

Let’s dream a dream as the clouds drift by

Rest your head, let the worries all fade

In the peaceful world that the evening made

How much longer can I stay here by your side?

Knowing one day there’ll be nowhere to hide

That’s why I want to sleep near you tonight

Under the glow of the silver moonlight

So let’s hold hands, let’s never let go

Through the quiet hours that we only know

Just holding hands, right here, right now

The sign that the rain is gone tomorrow

Is the flower that blooms to end all our sorrow

The green wind blows through the open air

Taking our spirits and flying them there

How much longer can I stay here by your side?

I’ll cherish the moments, I’ve got nothing to hide

I want to laugh with you, loud and clear

I want to hold your hand, while you’re here

The rain has stopped

The birds are singing

Let's just keep holding on
