Before Sunday Mourning
03:54
|
|||
|
Saturday morning came
And that was the day that my life changed
I looked into your eyes, so full of life
And thanked God that you were mine
And the light you brought to me
Changed my heart and set me free
You were less like a fiddle and more like a violin
Soft like snow, but warm like a summer rain
Gentle as a breeze, strong as a hurricane
And I hold onto wishing that you could be here again
From the day you were born, I fell in love
You were everything I had been dreaming of
I looked into your eyes, saw the warmest light
And I knew you would be my life
And the light you brought to me
Changed my heart and set me free
You were less like a fiddle and more like a violin
Soft like snow, but warm like a summer rain
Gentle as a breeze, strong as a hurricane
And I hold onto wishing that you could be home again
Sunday morning came
And that was the day that my life changed
I walked into the room
And the blood rushed from my face
You were less like a fiddle and more like a violin
Soft like snow, but warm like a summer rain
Gentle as a breeze, strong as a hurricane
And I hold onto wishing that you could be here again

Life and Death
05:11
|
|||
|
Some days I feel alive
On others I'm just waiting to die
It's not that I don't want to live
But sometimes I feel I have nothing to give
It's not death that I fear
Just how I'll get there
I'll wait my whole life
To be where you are
As time slowly goes by
I know you're not far
Some days I can't make myself cry
On others I am soaked inside
It's not that I can't face the truth
I just don't know if I can live without you
It's not death that I fear
Just how I'll get there
I'll wait my whole life
To be where you are
As time slowly goes by
I know you're not far
And in the end
When I see you again
Death will cease to be
My enemy
And become my friend
And in the end
When I see you again
Death will cease to be
My enemy
And become my friend

Absence
04:24
|
|||
|
Without an invitation you came
And sat next to me
In a moment that will always be
Frozen in time, permanently
Now it sits on my desk
Staring at me
Reminds me of
The lifetime ahead of me
In fifty years, where will I be?
Will I have the right to say
"You should be proud of me?"
Will the pain still overcome me in my dreams?
I had a dream I died and you looked at me
Disappointed eyes were all I could see
I woke and vowed I would live
To make you proud of me
In fifty years, where will I be?
Will I have the right to say
"You should be proud of me?"
Will the pain still overcome me in my dreams?
There are times I almost can't go on
But your absence is sculpting me
Into something better
Than I thought I could be

Kindly Smiling
03:18
|
|||
|
I cried as hard as I could
I begged you to stay, but it did no good
I walked into my room, and I felt you there
Kindly smiling, your warmth in the air
Moments like that carry me through
Moments like that bring me closer to you
I wait in the car and just sit
Like I'm the one who died
Sometimes I wish it were me
Cause death seems easier than life
Moments like this weigh heavy on my heart
Sometimes I wish I could be where you are
I look forward to the day I take my last breath
Cause I'm not afraid of death
It's not the end just another step
It's not that I don't want to live
But sometimes I feel I have nothing to give
Moments like this, I lie awake
With so many things I'd like to say
Seconds and minutes, hours and days
Years and decades till I see your face

Evening
03:38
|
|||
|
As I lie in bed and think
What does my life now mean?
When I talk to you
Are you listening?
The world must turn
And the sun will burn
But my head feels heavy
While my stomach churns
Can I carry on
Until the day I'm gone
When the daylight fades
And evening comes?
To take me to you
To take me to you
Why do people keep living?
Don't they know the world ended?
How can the stars keep shining?
Didn't they see what happened?
The world must turn
And the sun will burn
But my head feels heavy
While my stomach churns
Can I carry on
Until the day I'm gone
When the daylight fades
And evening comes?
To take me to you
To take me to you
Now I feel lost without you, my heart is caving in
I'm cold like snow, empty as the rain
Feeling alone and lost in this hurricane
And I hold onto wishing that I could see you again

Last Night
04:28
|
|||
|
There's a hole in my heart
Where you used to be
Now I'm falling apart
Instead of falling asleep
And I just want you here with me
I just want you here
If I could turn back time
I'd never sleep again
I would stay up all night
If it would make a difference
But now I'm putting flowers on your grave
Feeling small under this weight
I'm not ready to say goodbye
But that's not a choice I get to make
There's a hole in my heart
Where you used to be
Now I'm falling apart
Instead of falling asleep
And I just want you here with me
I just want you here
I'll wait my whole life
To be where you are
As time slowly goes by
I know you're not far
But now I'm putting flowers on your grave
Feeling small under this weight
I'm not ready to say goodbye
But that's not a choice I get to make
There's a hole in my heart
Where you used to be
Now I'm falling apart
Instead of falling asleep
And I just want you here with me
I just want you here with me

You Again
04:26
|
|||
|
I would jump through a ring of fire
I would walk on a tight rope wire
To hold you again
I would stay awake all night
I would wait for the dawn to ignite
To see you again
But you're so far away
You're so far away
It's so long until that day
But I will wait
I would swim through a sea of pain
Feel the salt flowing through my veins
To be with you again
I would give up my biggest dreams
I would go through anything
To see you again
But you're so far away
You're so far away
It's so long until that day
But I will wait

My Heart
04:24
|
|||
|
Sometimes I want to get away from here
But where would I go
If I can't find you anywhere?
You come to me in my dreams
When will I come to you?
I am on my knees
Searching for the truth
My heart can't take much more of this
Hanging from this precipice
My mind is lost in loneliness
Wandering in this dark abyss
Searching for you
Searching for you
Some days the pain holds onto me like glue
When will it fade away
If I can't be with you?
You come to me in dreams
When will I come to you?
I am on my knees
Searching for the truth
My heart can't take much more of this
Hanging from this precipice
My mind is lost in loneliness
Wandering in this dark abyss
Searching for you
Those who say men don't cry
Have never felt what I feel inside
My heart can't take much more of this
Hanging from this precipice
My mind is lost in loneliness
Wandering in this dark abyss
Searching for you
Searching for you

Well we hung your stocking with care
As if we knew you'd be there
We each made a promise to do something for you
And I'm just hoping to make it through
Oooh
On days like these, I'd rather be with you
On days like these, I'd rather be with you
And I know that God is true
And He'll take good care of you
But here I am having Christmas without you
We lit a candle for you
Had a moment of silence or two
We each shared our favorite memory
And promised we'd try to be happy
Oooh
On days like these, I'd rather be with you
On days like these, I'd rather be with you
And I know that God is true
And He'll take good care of you
But I just feel all alone here without you
When your brother and sister welcomed you home
She gently brushed your hair
And he said he'd always be there
And I know that God is true
And He'll take good care of you
But I just feel all alone here without you

Every Day
03:53
|

|
Every day my heart heals a little
Every day brings me closer to you
Every mile feels more like the middle
But the end is still through
So I live
Carry on, carry on
Give what I can give
Carry on, carry on
Every day I try to be brave
I try to live for you
But you are so far away
And live is all I can do
So I live
Carry on, carry on
Give what I can give
Carry on, carry on
I'm getting older
But not fast enough
I try to be strong
Try to live and love
So I live
Carry on, carry on
Give what I can give
Carry on, carry on
And in the end
When I see you again
I'll take you in my arms
And hold you again, my friend
And in the end
When I see you again
I'll take you in my arms
And hold you again, my friend
