All I Have Left
Now that it’s over ---
Now that it’s through
All I have left
Are these songs about you.
I wrote a song about the night I met you.
Then came the one about the broken dreams.
I almost died the night I wrote the verses
About how things are never what they seem.
Then came the one about the lost tomorrows
That, somehow, we both knew we’d never see.
Now I sit and try to write the final chorus
To a song that tells just how it used to be.
Now that it’s over ---
Now that it’s through
All I have left
Are these songs about you.
Once I wrote a song about forever ---
You told me that you liked it most of all.
But, somehow, our forever never happened
And broken dreams are all that I recall.
So, a hundred songs cannot erase the sorrow ---
Nor a thousand verses ever still the pain ---
And a million years could never dim the pleasure
I would know if I could hold you once again.
Now that it’s over ---
Now that it’s through
All I have left
Are these songs about you.
