TURNING BACK THE PAGES
As I sit here by the window,
remembering the past.
Turning back the pages,  one by one.
My eyes are over flowing,
my heart is filled with love.
Turning back the pages, one by one.
I shared with you the good times,
We struggled through the bad.
Turning back the pages, one by one.
I reach to wipe the tears away,
as I leave the pain behind.
Turning back the pages, one by one.
I have found the place within me,
that now lights my way.
Turning back the pages, one by one.
I have climbed out of the darkness.
That had been haunting me.
Turning back the pages, one by one.
I found the strength I need
to protect me from your pain.
Turning back the pages, one by one.
Now I can face each day,
knowing I have won,
Turning back the pages, one by one.
