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 the 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
