***until

The night knew no tomorrow
The sky remained dark gray
Until the day that I met you
And you turned my darkness into day

The clouds hung in the air
My heart was filled with rain
And until the day we met
I thought I had nothing to gain

All the leaves had fallen
The grass was never green
You showed me a whole new world
A life I had not seen

The fire deep inside me
Had weakened to a spark
You showed me your light
I'm no longer in the dark
