The morning sun paints the sky with gold
As the hills wake up from the night so cold
The breeze whispers secrets through the trees
Like your voice calling softly back to me
In the pines I hear your name
Carried on the wind like an old refrain
Even when the world moves on
In the pines you’ll never be gone
The river runs as it always has
Through the stones and past the fields of grass
I hear its song it sounds like you
Telling me stories of the skies so blue
In the pines I hear your name
Carried on the wind like an old refrain
Even when the world moves on
In the pines you’ll never be gone
The stars above keep shining bright
Like the memories that warm the night
And when I close my eyes I see
The shadow of you standing next to me
In the pines I hear your name
Carried on the wind like an old refrain
Even when the world moves on
In the pines you’ll never be gone
So I’ll wait here by the river’s side
Where the pines stand tall and the stars collide
With every breeze I’ll feel you near
In the pines you’ll always be here
