Hard to believe I won't see you again
|
We were just fighting when winter began
|
The coldness of our words competing with the wind from the north.
|
|
Still they make me shiver but in a very different way
|
The pages of the calendar kept turning away
|
I have some better words now but it's too late to say them to you.
|
|
My dream of all dreams and my hope of all hopes
|
Is only to tell you and make sure you know
|
How much I love you and how much I always did.
|
|
And yes I know you loved me, I can see it in your eyes
|
And it was in your struggle and it was in your mind
|
And it was in the smile you gave me when I was a kid
|
|
Feels like no one understands
|
And my only chance
|
To talk to you is through my prayers.
|
I only wanted to tell you I cared
|
|
Every night after and every day since,
|
I found myself crying when the memory hit.
|
Sometimes it knocks me down, sometimes I just put it away.
|
|
Down in my mind where I don't care to go
|
The pain of a lesson is letting me know
|
If you have love in your heart let it show while you can
|
|
Yes now I understand
|
But now my only chance
|
To talk to you is through my prayers.
|
I only wanted to tell you I cared.
|
I only wanted to tell you I cared.
