The day starts
The day ends
Time crawls by
Night steals in pacing the floor
The moments creep
Yet I can't bear to sleep
'Til I hear you sing
And weeks pass
And months pass
Seasons fly
Still you don't walk through my door
And in a haze
I count the silent days
'Til I hear you sing once more
And sometimes in darkness
I dream that you are there
But wake holding nothing
But the cold night air
And years come
And years go
Time runs dry
Still I ache deep in my core
My broken soul
Can't be alive or whole
'Til I hear you sing once more
And music, your music
It teases at my ear
I turn and it fades away
And you're not here
Let hopes pass
Let dreams pass
Let them die
Without you, what are they for?
I'll always feel
No more than halfway real
'Til I hear you sing once more
