Gentle Wind

The sun has set, the day is gone
And fast the night is falling
I feel you in the gentle wind
And hear you softly calling
You're telling me to bide my time
My broken heart will mend
And when the time is right for me
I can love again
The gentle wind caresses me
Just like you used to do
Bringing peace to my broken heart
Easing the pain of losing you
I will always know you wish me well
There will never be an end
As long as I can feel your touch
In every gentle wind
I know there will always be
A place in my heart for you
But I will listen to the gentle wind
And look for love anew
