The Love I Once Had

`                    THE LOVE I ONCE HAD 

My heart is filled with pain,my tears are filled with sorrows. 
The man I love has passed and left me with no tomorrows. 

       As night time falls and I dreamed my day away. 
             I'm so sad cause my love couldn't stay. 

Our children are my strength they guide me through hard times. 
   Without my love for them my life would not be worth a dime. 

         The memories that I carry are about the love we had. 
           Without his love for me my heart will always be sad. 

     The loved ones I thought would always be there for me. 
                      Are the loved ones that I never see. 

                    I wish everyday that you was here. 
                Cause that is what helps dry my tears. 

                        Every night I dream of you. 
                   Seeing you again will come true.
