                         / 
I never knew the dusk could seem so sad,
             
an empty aching in my soul.
                             /     
In this bright hour I speak your name in the wind,
                        
the shining world outlasts us all.


                        /     
Even the mountains seem to know you're gone,
                        
the foothills shimmer where they stand.
                          / 
The sky is still and much too beautiful,
               
and I am missing you again.


                           
Lift me over the San Gabriels,
                    
leaning into the southern sky.
               /                
The foothills burning in the afterglow,
                
an angel fire passing by.


                           / 
I think of songs I might have sung to you,
                
the love I wanted you to hear.
                  /  
Everytime the blazing sun goes down,
          
another promise disappears.


                         /  
I never knew the dusk could break my heart,
               
so much longing folding in,
                   /  
I'd give years away to have you here,
                    
you know I can't lose you again.


                       
Lift me over the San Gabriels,
                    
leaning into the southern sky.
            /                
A flight of angels must be in the wind,
                       
I know they'll pass this way tonight.


                           
Help me remember the San Gabriels,
                       
the foothills burning in the light.
                         
Let my heart rise up to where you are,
                
I long to be with you tonight.
                
I long to be with you tonight,
                
I long to be with you tonight
