Story behind the song

Many songs come from relationships gone bad.
This is one of those.

Lyrics

Hey, what's going on?
I hope that you don't mind me calling on the phone
It's been a while now, I'm doing fine
Though sometimes it's hard to get you off my mind

And through all the days and miles we've been apart
I still respect your need to make a clean new start
I guess what it is that I'm really trying to say
Is that these feelings that I have for you will never go away

You're in my mind, you fill my heart
Like raindrops on a lake, or a candle in the dark
I will not die, I have moved on
What I guess I'm trying to say is that this love I have for
Goes on and on.

I think that's all now. I'd better end
I've got 400 miles to drive so I can sing my songs again
And when I'm singing, I think of you
Those thoughts help me to be myself
And that's when my music fills the room.

Though it's true we'll no longer be a pair
I still think of you and all the magic times we shared
And I'm not sorry for the way we've been
You see you taught me how to love, now I'll love you as my friend

You're in my mind, you fill my heart
Like raindrops on a lake, or a candle in the dark
I will not die, I have moved on
What I guess I'm trying to say is that this love I have for
Goes on and on.
