What Does It Leave

© 2015 Mark Cote

Though she touches me
in ways she does not know
and in her world
she has to let it go
I wish her well

she's found someone
who makes her grey days smile
with so much class
and pressed suit style
I wish her well

but what could I offer someone like you
what could I offer that he couldn't do

(chorus) shooting at stars
                  living in dreams
                  when watercolor days rinse away
                  what does it mean
                  what does it leave
                  staring at my heart
                  living unseen
                  as the angel flew into the night
                  what does it mean
                  what does it leave
                  what does it leave

through the love of her
I've learned to grow
and like the winds
in summer that blow
we turn the page

My only hope is
the best I have learned from you
is something you'll hold from me
and as chapters whisk away
I remember the words you say
we turn the page
