There are no clouds today
as alone in this cold hotel bed I lay
The warmth of my lover is far away
but just the thought of him
is making my mind feel quite okay
and although I am miles away,
in a new place, just minutes away
from a new beginning, the deep blue
Chicago sky shines on me
through the mini blinds of yesterday
I remember how my mama use to say
“boy your gonna be real happy some day”
and that day has come. As I lay awake
happiness has pleasured my heart,
it has opened me up to a new world
of possibilities and the amazement that each day holds
now that I’ve found love,
and this deep blue Chicago sky
is reminding me of his beautiful eyes
and how deeply we connect
because even so far apart, together
our hearts fly.
