A Song For Lorian
Words and music by Kate Ashby-Craft
Intro
Verse One
I wonder who she is; I wonder what she’s like
I wonder what she cares about, I wonder where she lives
It’s been so long since I’ve seen her
I wouldn’t know what to say if she ever passed my way
Verse Two
She was born at a time when life was so unsure
And all around her there was nothing but closed doors
And because she was so loved
The only thing to do was to set her free
Chorus
And many years have come and gone
Since that cold winter’s day
When life began a new and though I’ve never known her
She’s always in my heart and always on my mind
Verse Three
The day may come when she and I will meet
And if it does I know I’ll be complete
I only hope she’ll understand
Why it had to be this way
And I hope she can forgive
Repeat Chorus X 2
