Long and Lonely Days
Long and lonely days
lost by hope in quiet song
from sounds this wishful heart has pawned
lay broken neath my endless thoughts of you
Nights in sleepless dreams
giving way to sunless dawns
casting spells that right these wrongs
fade in shadows chasing love I thought I knew
O how I hoped you'd know
how much I really loved you so
and how my heart could never let you go
be my life and dry these tears
hear only silence from my fears
Long and lonely days
made in memories laid bare
by hopes of what we might've shared
from promises left by your sweet caress
Times I can't forget
lost in moments gone before
like sand that's cast on distant shores
from tides that's swept with waves of changing fate
O how I hoped you'd know
how much I really loved you so
and how my heart could never let you go
be my life and dry these tears
be my love and hold me near
