Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals

Butterflies, reflected moonlight and familiar laughter become signs that love might still be possible. The narrator moves from isolation and memories of what has been lost toward noticing another person's presence. Ordinary moments of care offer the invitation to begin again, if the two of them can recognize what is already around them.

SIGNS

The Signs are everywhere
Everywhere they shimmer
And then vanish in the Air
Cool breeze blows the clouds away
Won't you please come out to play?
Stay inside when skies are gray
Lie awake and hide away
While you cry the night away

The Signs are everywhere
Butterflies are fluttering
By the Fountain over there
We're at the end of Summer
A Rainbow glitters in the Air
With a Golden Sun above it
And a Pot of Gold below
Crazy People Fall in Love
And they don't even know

Can you see the Signs?
The Raindrops on the Roses
And the bright red Valentines
The Moonlight on the Water
Like a Mirror when it shines
The Music like a Melody
In the corners of my Mind
The long shadows of Yesterday
And all we left behind

The Signs are everywhere
I see them in the morning
When I first get out of bed
I hear your voice echoing
I remember what you said
Let me walk with you hereafter
If only for a while
I can hear your laughter
And I love to see you smile

Music on the Radio
Laughter everywhere you go
Children playing Hide 'n Seek
Close your eyes and please don't peek
Now the World is turning 'round
And Everyone is upside down
Are you a Sad or Happy Clown
When the Sun is going down?

The Signs are Everywhere
You came out to see me
Just to show me that you care
I saw You by the Riverside
With Flowers in your hair
Could there be a better time
To fall in love again
We just have to see the Signs
And Love will never end
