When I was a boy, all the books I read

I followed like a blind man

To heed the words my father said

Those golden summers faded into night, words become a dream

The echoes of my childhood and where the path is winding



May God bless you, keep you safe from harm

I stand by you always

Time and motion

Hands touch, lips find a way to heaven on high



Watch the children play, the child becomes a man

And all the tangled webs we weave

You swear it as you live and breathe

We stay together, death until you part

Winner takes the prize

The future's at your fingertips, right before your eyes



(CHORUS)



No more sorrows

(smoke and mirrors)

No more nights with no end

(I really learned a lot, smoke and mirrors)

I see my tomorrows



And nothing from nothing

And ashes to ashes they say

All the more that you reach out

The more that it runs away



(Smoke and Mirrors)



(CHORUS)



No more goodbyes

(That's all I ever got, smoke and mirrors)

No lies, you find your way there

(Show me what she's got, smoke and mirrors)

Heaven on high



May God bless you, keep you from all harm

I stand my you always



Time and motion

(Smoke and mirrors)

Hands touch, lips find a way to

(That's all I ever got, smoke and mirrors)

Heaven on high



No more sorrows

(I really learned a lot, smoke and mirrors)

No more nights with no end

(Show me what shes got, smoke and mirrors)

I rise or I fall



No more goodbyes

(She really makes me hot, smoke and mirrors)

No lies, you find a way there

Heaven on high
