Those Empty Arms

written February 8, 2015 I can still feel her heartbeat In these fleeting fingertips I know she's there Despite my best efforts to see her I can feel her presence Every time that candle flickers Beside my bedroom door But it may just be creaking of the floor That's got me hopeful For what our reunion has in store So what's the story, morning glory Do you know you keep me going Although you no longer grace this earth I can feel your arms around me You make me feel like I am worth All the money on this earth But sometimes I wonder If I should keep my heart beating Sometimes it's as if my life Has no meaning, anymore You're warming arms around me Cool off as the years go by Without a voice to return My subtle whispers of I love you Through the darkest nights I wait to hear back soon So what's the story, morning glory Do you know keep me going Although you no longer grace this earth I can feel your arms around me You make me feel like I am worth All the money on this earth So now you know my story, morning glory You kept me going Despite my fleeting heart And those empty arms around me I could still feel you But now I can't help but wonder How much longer I can keep on trudging through Without the only thing that's true The feeling of my warming arms around you
