From the recording … Flying
Frank: For years this was my favorite of all the songs I'd written. Probably still is. Who knows? Heartbreak hurts, but yields good art I guess. Our old bandmates Gene Heiter and Lou Fiorillo tastefully added bass and lead acoustic guitar to the track. Also, love Chris Aleo's drumming on this song. So simple, yet so right.
Luisa: This song seems to grow on people. It never got a lot of mention when we first released "...Flying" but then slowly people would comment on how much they'd come to love it.
Lyrics
F. Veres
You gave your love when I was just a girl
You asked for nothing in return
Except the love of just one girl
So much love so fast
To think I let you fly
You spread your wings with no look back
Now who’s left to cry
Golden hair with an angel’s smile
Morning blossom sun
Those summer nights away we would while
It slipped away so fast
A thousand dreams belied
Do thoughts of me come to you anymore?
And do you ever cry?
Remember how we’d laugh
Now tears they fill my eyes
Do you ever laugh anymore
And do you ever cry?
Like I do in the middle of the night
When I’m all alone
Thinking of you, without me there
I love you so, I miss you more
Than words can ever say
