Wedding gift for a brother

I have tried not to be sentimental.

Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes

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

Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you’re a star in the face of the sky

Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving 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 *

You are not Daniel. You are not older than me. But you're leaving. To your "Spain". Goodbye, Brother. Best of luck.
