C                                 Dm
Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
G                              E7          Am
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
       F          G                 Am
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
        F                  G7           F           C
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes

They say Spain is pretty, though I've never been
And Daniel says it's the best place he's ever seen
Oh, and he should know, he's been there enough
Lord, I miss Daniel
Oh, I miss him so much

Chorus:
F                         C
Daniel my brother you are older than me
              F                     C
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal?
                Am                        F
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Fm                C  A7                  Dm G7
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky - x2

Daniel is travelin' tonight on a plane
I can see the red taillights headin' for Spain
Oh, and I can see Daniel wavin' goodbye
God, it looks like Daniel
Must be the clouds in my eyes

Oh God, it looks like Daniel
Must be the clouds in my eyes
