Softly
I think I’m starting to realize
How much I took for granted
As time goes by, and heartache
I hear your voice softly…
I didn’t know how to love you
All I know is that I wanted to
Now that we’re apart
The clock ticks on, softly…
I wish getting over you
Was easier than this
Perhaps it’s because you
Touched my heart softly…
Parting is such sweet sorrow,
When the pain comes too soon
Loving smiles turn into something else
As time passes none too softly…
When the skies turn
like gray, dust inside my mind
and then the rain comes,
dripping to the ground, softly…
Now whenever I see a rose
Or think of springtime breezes
I see your eyes in my mind
The tears fall softly…
