[Verse] I couldn’t reach your side In love’s tender garden bright You were the nightingale that sang Among the red roses In my heart you rang You My chosen light [Chorus] I couldn’t reach you No I couldn’t I couldn’t touch the stars where you stood I couldn’t drink enough of your face No matter how I tried No embrace I couldn’t reach you No I couldn’t [Verse 2] If I were a bird I’d sing Pour my soul to ease your spring If you miss me Hear my tune Don’t let sorrow cloud your moon Love still holds its wing [Chorus] I couldn’t reach you No I couldn’t I couldn’t touch the stars where you stood I couldn’t drink enough of your face No matter how I tried No embrace I couldn’t reach you No I couldn’t [Bridge] Your eyes like lakes Staring far Waiting Wishing Where we are If they could speak They’d call my name Through time and space The same [Chorus] I couldn’t reach you No I couldn’t I couldn’t touch the stars where you stood I couldn’t drink enough of your face No matter how I tried No embrace I couldn’t reach you No I couldn’t
