The Return
At a time of sorrow, it is hard to believe
That the sun will once again shine
That's when it seems you do nothing but grieve
With all joy being left far behind
Still, life has a way of starting anew
A gradual moving away
From heartaches that linger
As heartaches will do
If you will allow them to stay
As spring returns to the earth every year
Bringing all of its beauty in view
So merciful time will heal everything
Bringing peace of mind back to you
Know in your heart that love never dies
No matter whatever befalls
The only ones who never have tears in their eyes
Are those who loved no one at all
The greater the love, the greater the loss
Still, it's love that makes life worth living
Few are the ones who will not bear the cost
To have shared in the joy of its giving.
