The Corner
Today my heart is broken,
from what it used to be
All I ever wanted,
was your arms holding me
Today this tortured pain,
is all that's left of you
And wiping these tears away,
is all that's left to do
Now I lay staring at the ceiling,
wondering what went wrong
Feeling pain and emptiness,
where your arms belong
Wonder if I can keep going on,
without your gentle touch
Wonder if this rain will stop,
for I never asked for much
Over in the corner,
still lies your wedding band
Shining in the light,
from where it left your hand
and on the stand still sits your picture,
in it's golden frame
With that smile upon your face,
calling out my name
I wonder if you'd come back,
if our lives would have to change
For the song we used to dance to,
doesn't sound the same
And forevers now just a word
that seems to make me cry
And my heart can't take the break,
of another sad goodbye
Over in the corner,
still lies your wedding band
Shining in the light,
from where it left your hand
And on the stand still sits your picture,
in it's golden frame
With that smile upon your face,
calling out my name
