Once There Was a Love
Once there was a love
that was brighter than the light of dawn.
Like a bliss of rousing rapture;
a tale, so sweet to remember.
Like the blazing rays of the rising sun,
our hearts were like the stars.
We were dazzling in glowing ember;
our shine was pure divine.
We were two hearts full of hope,
that we could make it against the storms;
that through the years, our love would blossom
like two flowers bloomed in tune.
But then in one cold lonely night,
you drifted away without goodbye.
I was left asking my puzzled heart~
What caused your love to part?
How can I face tomorrow alone?
How can I cross the bridge of loneliness?
How can I walk the streets of sorrow?
How can I live without your love?
