"Sarah" lyrics
(originally from "The Civil War" soundtrack)
Oh, Sarah, my Sarah
I fear I must go
And leave you to move on alone
A hard wind is rising
And fixing to blow
And scatter the days we have known
But come what may I'll always be with you watching from above
Oh, Sarah, my Sarah, my love
I see you, my Sarah, when I close my eyes
It's summer, and we're at the fair
Your laughter so haunting, so full of surprise
Drifts back like some ghost through the air
So, when you feel a cool breeze passing by know that I am there
As real as the words of my prayer
If fate is kind
I'll soon be by your side
But always know: you can find me deep inside
Oh, Sarah, my Sarah
I'll whisper your name
My thoughts all will run home to you
My heart is the candle
And your heart the flame
That burns with a fire so true
And know that we will surely meet again
Until then
I swear
I love you, my Sarah
And always my heart will be there
I fear I must go
And leave you to move on alone
A hard wind is rising
And fixing to blow
And scatter the days we have known
But come what may I'll always be with you watching from above
Oh, Sarah, my Sarah, my love
I see you, my Sarah, when I close my eyes
It's summer, and we're at the fair
Your laughter so haunting, so full of surprise
Drifts back like some ghost through the air
So, when you feel a cool breeze passing by know that I am there
As real as the words of my prayer
If fate is kind
I'll soon be by your side
But always know: you can find me deep inside
Oh, Sarah, my Sarah
I'll whisper your name
My thoughts all will run home to you
My heart is the candle
And your heart the flame
That burns with a fire so true
And know that we will surely meet again
Until then
I swear
I love you, my Sarah
And always my heart will be there
