Lingering

Like the smell of morning coffee Like the chill in December's air I just can't do anything Your all my heart endears Lingering.. Lingering... In my heart you are always here Lingering... Lingering... Like the coolness of September's rain Your memories become my pain You made me happy You made me cry You made me angry You made me lie How could I tell you If it meant you would go away How could I make you Want to forever stay Your smile stays with me Your eyes I still see Your touch I need Lingering in my heart, lingering I was reluctant, it made you doubt I could not leave her, you wanted out Like the fragrance of a rose in bloom Lingering... I lie awake in my room Like the smell of your perfume lingering in the air The softness of your brown eyes mist with tears The sadness of losing you The anger I swear The foolishness I fell upon Trying to make you care Lingering... Lingering... Like a mirage that isn't there Your gone but you linger on In my heart you linger here.
