Pouring sugar in your coffee
Stains left on your paper plate
See the bands around your wrist
See the outline of your face
I see the yellow of your hair
See the gentleness of your smile
I see the road's curve in my mind
And you flying by
I knew you such a brief sweet breath
Still in your dawn
What I'd give to sit with you again
I'd stay a little long - a little longer than I did
The last time that I saw you
Days before I heard you were gone
I remember things I said
I wish I never had
I remember ways I put you down
Ways I made you sad
I remember how you laughed
Like it never really pained you
And no one can recall
A single time that you complained
I knew you such a brief sweet breath
Still in your dawn
What I'd give to sit with you again
I'd stay a little long - a little longer than I did
The last time that I saw you
Days before I heard you were gone
