Lyrics
Sara's Hair
c2013 Geoff Vernon, Sol Knopf and Doug James
It was funny, Sara's Hair and flopped about her face
To this 3rd grade boy behind her
When we dashed to second base
It gave a handle in the chase
Long, dark and silken then, at the prom we left the rest
When Sara's hair cascaded down in rivers 'cross my chest
I knew that I'd been blessed
CHORUS
Sara's hair is always there in black and shimmering streams
Smells of wind and sunlight in the refuge of my dreams
Sara's hair is always there
Sara's hair withpearls was woven on the day we joyfully wed.
My heart, much tighter bound by midnight locks upon the bed
Than by the vows we'd said
And when her love had given me a daughter and a son
Her hair was even finer then, than when we'd just begun
Burnished ebony in the sun
CHORUS
Sara's hair is always there in black and shimmering streams
Smells of wind and sunlight in the refuge of my dreams
Sara's hair is always there
Bridge
Sara's hair runs fine through all my memories
And like a river through my mind
It brings a flow of love and life and laughter
To make the pass of tide and time seem kind
And I will see her hair, still wondrous
When we stroll through twilight's glow
Softly swirlin' 'bout her face like fleecy wisps of snow
When winter winds begin to blow
CHORUS
Sara's hair is always there in black and shimmering streams
Smells of wind and sunlight in the refuge of my dreams
Sara's hair is always there
