Melancholy Waltz
Melancholy Waltz
In the still, darkness of early morning
I awake with a song of hope
Still fresh on my lips
My heart filled with the light of love
Never known, until we were one
Consuming my entire being
Every thought, each and every breath
My~~~ memories dance~~~~~~
You and I touching hands, touching hearts
Touching each other's very souls
As we dance in the pure joy of our love
Slowly, dawn brings light
And I realize the source of my pain,
The reality... you are no longer mine
I seek to cast intruding thoughts aside,
Desperate to linger in the love dance
For just a few precious moments more
But the music has ended, and I know
Today's hours will lead my body through the day,
Waltzing alone to the sullen beat of my heart
