Heidi's Song Lyrics - The Echoing Green

there's a simple kind of truth 

that comes with never 

and there's a certain kind of stain 

that comes with forever 

WELL I can hold your hand 

and you take mine 

and we can walk on through 

to the other side of our lives 

forever's such a short time when 

I can see my destiny 

in your russet eyes 

and I can hear a symphony 

in your autumn sighs 

and I can sing you a song 

that'll make you cry yet smile inside 

and we can hold on to each other's hearts 

til we die 

and angels close our eyes 

there's a secret kind of hope you hold 

that you won't say 

there's something special about a mystery 

told in this quiet way 

but when I hear you laugh 

I feel the hope of angels 

the gates of Heaven 

are open to strangers tonight... 

shining like starlight
