I remember

In the sunlight

The whitest stretch of sand

That meets the ocean

You were laughing

And I could see your eyes

Reflect the sun

But in Bethlehem

The walls are steel

We'll be there again

And time will heal

I remember

You were silent

Walking where your feet

Could touch the water

And I wondered

The things your eyes had seen

In all the years

But here in Bethlehem

There is no today

Looking back or forth

Just to run away

I remember

In the autumn

When we last said goodbye

You said you loved me

I remember

The words were in your eyes

Then you were gone

And in Bethlehem

Every bit of light

That filters in

Relieves the night
