	The lyrics to this song are taken from a few poems by Paul Laurence Dunbar. He is just too good.
	Story Behind the Song This was the first song that we wrote. I had written this music and really wanted to put words to it. But I had this really big wirter's block at the time. So I cheated my way around it and used 2 poems by my favortie poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar. Lyrics If you could sit with me beside the sea today And whisper with me sweetest dreamings o'er and o'er I think I should not find the clouds so dim and grey And not so loud the waves complaining at the shore If you could sit with me upon the shore today And hold my hand in yours as in the days of old I think I should not mind the chill baptismal spray Nor find my hand and heart and all the world so cold But love is the light of the world my dear Alas for hopeless hoping When the lights went out in the storm that blew And a soul when blindly groping If you could walk with me upon the strand today And tell me that my longing love had won your own I think then all my sad thoughts could then be put away And I could give back laughter for the ocean's moon
