Emerald (This Is For You) Lyrics

I met you on an aeroplane

The last year of the century

We were heading to the South of France

You were there for company

Into the great unknown we travelled

Strangers in the sky

I said I was just scared of falling

When you laughed at my fear of heights

So this is for you, this is for you

This is for you, this is for you

I just hope it makes you feel good

We spoke of times that laid ahead

The greatest of escapes

Making plans for better days

As we landed in the rain

And the last thing I remember

You were waving from the taxi cab

Gone but not forgotten

To hold but to never have

And when I got 2,000 miles away from

Who I used to be

I tracked you down

But I never got a chance to speak

And I'd love to get to know you

Better than I ever did

So I wrote a song about you

It was all that I had to give

So this is for you, this is for you

This is for you, this is for you

I just hope it makes you feel good

Hope it makes you feel good

This is for you, this is for you

This is for you, this is for you
