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
