about

This song was originally written for a music theatre recital in mid-2012. It reflects on the ability to move beyond a destructive argument and remember what is important about one's partner.

lyrics

Maybe I was wrong, maybe not
Maybe you were right, maybe not
We've wasted hours in this war
And wilted all the flowers we dreamed
Together in the garden of our hearts
Funny how feelings change when you're apart
And you're searching for the answer
But it's already here

You make the sun have purpose
You make the nights have meaning
There's no space between dreaming and awake
When you are laughing

Maybe I'll be wrong, that's fine
Maybe you'll be right, that's fine
We pay for our uncertainties
Our judgment fails and sometimes that entails
Choices we regret
But I won't let that stand between us
When the answers are in your eyes
And I can't deny

That you make the sun have purpose
You make the nights have meaning
There's no space between dreaming and awake
When you are laughing

See how flowers grow
Watch the flowers grow
For us, for you

'cause you make the sun have purpose
You make the nights have meaning
There's no space between dreaming and awake
When you are laughing
