It Was Only Words

It was only words I saw a rainbow, but its colors did not glow I saw a summer breeze, but it was bitter cold I heard a bird sing, but its song was full of pain I tasted your lips but my kiss was all in vain I heard a child's laughter, and I felt so very old I cried a lonely tear, from deep within my soul I saw a falling star, but its wishes were all gone I felt your touch, but it felt so withdrawn I smelled a rose, but its fragrance was bittersweet I felt the sun, but the sunshine had no heat I looked at the stars, but did not see the sky I saw a clown, but instead he made me cry I saw the sunrise, but there was no dawn I heard a song, but the music and lyrics were gone I saw th sun set, but I did not see the day I held you close to me, but you pushed me away I said a prayer, but it was never heard I said 'I Love You',...but it was only words Written Circa 2005.
