❖

We move through lonely days
Longing for the sight of one loved face
The touch of one lost hand.
Once the time was children played
Burned out ends of smoky days
Drew shades across the things 
We'd never planned.

But somewhere there's a light
That gleams and shines above.
In every moment of each day 
I'll remember you with love.

Days and nights a waking dream,
Things I wanted never seem to be
More than shadows in the night.
Memories of days now passed,
Maybe what you love can never last
More than moments in your life.
 
But somewhere there's a light
That gleams and shines above.
In every moment of each day 
I'll remember you with love.

So I hide the bitter tears,
Frozen pearls for stolen years,
Wrap them in the darkness and the pain.
How I miss your being there,
Hopes and fears we'll never share,
Never look into your eyes again.

But somewhere there's a light
That gleams and shines above.
In every moment of each day 
I'll remember you with love.
