There Are Nights and Then There Are Days

They say,
“Time heals all wounds.”
I believe
and I am happy....


But there are nights
when I shake with cold
and roll into an empty space

There are nights
when I think too much....
(I thought I forgot your face)

Yes there are nights
when the tears fall down
From my heart I cannot hide

Cause there are nights
in timeless deep
when we’re forever, you and I....


But don’t mistake me love,
I am not weak.
there are just....
nights


And I will survive


‘Cause there are days
when I smile with pride
pleased with the new me I’ve found

Yes there are days
with firm resolve
to keep my back turned right around

Love there are days
when I can breathe!
no more plagued with uncertainty

Oh there are days
I embrace the ride
trusting what will be will be


They say,
“Time heals all wounds.”
I believe
and I am happy....


And I will survive


Because for now
at least....
there are more days than nights.
