Nora June - Stephen Bishop

Nora June

The wind is blowing through the pines

It sounds just like an angel’s cry

So sweet and clear

But it means nothing

When I’m not near

Nora June

I saw you out tonight

With someone who’ll never treat you right

And you looked so sad

It made me feel so bad

Nora June

But why should I care?

Sometimes it’s more than a heart can bare

Still I know

I can’t let go

How can I get to you, Nora June

Long ago

We used to ride our bikes to school

In the summer we’d hang out by the swimming pool

In the Southern sun

(My) life had just begun

Nora June

Even then

Behind the freckles on your face

I could always see your beauty and your grace

That silly girl

Grew up to be

Nora June

But Those days…

They couldn’t last

And from (a)your broken home

You grew up too fast

Your Father’s words

Of guilt and shame

Always leaving you to blame, Nora June

You said we’d be friends for life

But I can’t change what I feel inside

All I have left is my foolish pride…

Nora June

I want you to be mine

And I promise you

That you’ll never find

A better man than me

Darlin' can’t you see

Nora June
