Make It Come Alive

By Bruce Clifford

Watching the planes come in

You said it only  happens every ten minutes or so

What you didn’t know was they kept coming in

Since then the years went by

So often I had you on my mind

What I didn’t know was how you always felt the same

You were so full of life

I didn’t know where you went

You made me feel so alive

As if you were heaven sent

The look in your eyes

Stayed with me night after night

I never forgot what was real

What was it that we could feel

You make it come alive

You bring out the best in me

You make everything alright

You make me feel alive

Where did the time go

All the mountains we had to climb 

Is this how our story goes

Or do we give this one more try

You make it come alive

You bring me sunshine in the rain

You make everything alright

But will things ever be the same

Let’s make it come alive

Let’s sit and watch the planes

Are there still answers we’re looking to find

You make it come alive
