When I Look To The Sky Lyrics

Edit Lyrics When it rains it pours and opens doorsThat flood the floors we thought would always Keep us safe and dryAnd in the midst of sailing ships We sink our lips into the ones we loveThat have to say goodbye And as I float along this oceanI can feel you like a notion that won’t seem to let me go Cause when I look to the sky Something tells me you’re here with meAnd you make everything alright And when I feel like I’m lost Something tells me you’re here with meAnd I can always find my way when you are here And every word I didn’t say That caught up in some busy dayAnd every dance on the kitchen floor We didn’t have beforeAnd every sunset that we’ll miss I’ll wrap them all up in a kissAnd pick you up in all of this when I sail away And while I float upon this oceanI can feel you like a notion that I hope will never leaveCause when I look to the sky Something tells me you’re here with meAnd you make everything alright And when I feel like I’m lost Something tells me you’re here with meAnd I can always find my way Whether I am up or down or in or out Or just plane overheadInstead it just feels like it is impossible To flyBut with you I can spread my wingsto see me over everything That life may send me when I am hoping it won’t pass me by And when I feel like there is no one That will ever know meThere you are to show me When I look to the sky Something tells me you’re here with meAnd you make everything alright And when I feel like I’m lost Something tells me you’re here with meAnd I can always find my way when you are hereWhen I look to the sky Something tells me you’re here with meAnd I can always find my way when you are hereAnd when I feel like I’m lost Something tells me you’re here with meAnd I can always find my way when you are here New!

Lyrics cannot contain links. Lyric edit submitted successfully and is pending approval. Approvals usually take 24 hours. Edit Cancel Editing Tips Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Another personal favorite of mine from Train...I first heard this song when I went on my daily viewing of TRAINLINE.com, and it just gave me a bunch of mixed feelings inside....let me start off with saying that Pat, along with the rest of the Talented Train group is blessed to come up with such beautiful lyrics. I have a very good friend that is in the Marines that is leaving this very summer and when I heard this song, it reminded me exacly of him, all of the great memories we have shared in the past,and how greatly I am going to miss him when he leaves.

I think this song is about God or a guardian angel. There's references to Heaven and guidance. I don't really know how to explain it any further. It just seems to fit that way for me.

I agree with jiodek, i believe this song is about God. The only part that doesn't go along with that is the part when it says "Every word I didn't say.....I'll wrap them all up in a kiss". The most powerful part in the sing that enforces the God thing is, "When I feel that there is no one that will know me, you're there to show me..." I personally love this song!

I'm pretty sure it's about his mother. I twist it a little bit and make it a nice love story, but I'm pretty sure it's about his mother who died during the recording of "Drops of Jupiter" Whatever it's about it's a really great song about having someone with you always. I really love the 2nd verse the dancing on the kitchen floor set up against that romantic scene of a sunset is really great. And yes, sunsets with your mother can be cool ... there's a line you don't cross ... but they can be cool. I think of my grandmother who died of cancer when I hear the song. Always a pillar of strength to me.

I think jag3892 is pretty much on the money. if its not his mother its another loved one who has passed on. I know I always think of my mom, granted, like jag said about the line you don't cross, the last time I saw her she was in a hospital bed and pretty much just a shell, so I never got to really say goodbye, but I "wrapped it all up in a kiss" and basically kinda hope there is an afterlife so I can pick her up when I sail away(die). Also to boot, I never heard, or at least paid any attention to this song before, but it just seemed it had an extremely long airplay and was always on when I was down or just missing her.

my grandmother passed away when i was about eight, the first time i heard this song i cried so hard. i have always felt like my grandmother was the only person who truly understood me and know everytime i heard that song i cry, because i miss her so much. i now 17 and it makes me happy everytime i'm driving my car and that song comes on the radio. i just look up to the sky and remember her, and i can't wait until it's my time to leave this world and go to heaven and be with her again.

When I heard this song I immediatley thought that it sounded like a guy singing to his a gf or his wife who had died, and how his faith helped him to know she was still with him.

I saw Train last year when they toured military bases. Gabby was right... according to Pat Monahan himself the song is about military folks going off to war and the people that they leave behind.

Train has become my favorite band. I cannot wait for their next album, whenever they may come.

I love this song, and I have heard that it was about his wife who passed on (in what matter I'm not sure) but if you read the lyrics, it seems to work...about love and guardian angels.
