Just let the disc play This is a song to give you hope I wouldn't have it any other way This is a song to give you hope When you say Honey, I'm afraid to sleep At night, sleep at night Honey, I'm afraid to sleep At night, sleep at night Well, I wish I had my arms around you This is a song to give hope, just let this thing Surround you, this is a song to give you hope When you say Honey, I'm afraid to sleep At night, sleep at night Honey, I'm afraid to leave Tonight, leave tonight I said go, go on, go, go on I said I, I love you truly So go, go on and get jump On the finer things This is a song to give hope You never know What the past will bring you This is a song to give you hope When you say Honey, I'm afraid to sleep At night, sleep at night Honey, I'm afraid to leave Tonight, leave tonight I said go, go on, go, go on I said I, I love you truly So go, go on Forty miles south of Monterey And the San Lucia hills The sunshine shone me to sleep And I dreamt I was alive I sang myself a song, it went Know, what you know Stay when you stay And go when you go And I call it intuition, flowers bloom And hummingbirds fly Yes, I call it intuition, it gets me by Sailing on a silver ship out to the open Lonely and realizing that Our friendship's been broken And the funny thing to me is How quickly it slips away And leaves you thinking of the things That were never spoken And you know loving me is not enough And I know future is as future does Sailing on a silver ship out to the open Lonely and realizing that Our friendship's been broken And the funny thing to me is How quickly it slips away And leaves you longing for The things that were never spoken And you know loving me is not enough And I know future is as future does

    General Comment:Mason introduced this song at a concert one time. He said it was about a time he really love someone, but he knew that things weren't going to work out in the long run, and that he had to break their heart. He sounded like he might cry when he explained it.

    The song tries so hard to sell the breakup as a good thing. I often wonder how it went over.

    General Comment:Great song from Mason ... he says this is a song to give you hope, but there is a little bit of regret attached to this. He knows that some relationships are meant to end, but he wishes it didn't have to be this way. Love the words ... "And the funny thing to me is how quickly it slips away. And leaves you longing for the things that were never spoken." Ah the dreams of what could have been.
