Our love was like a red rose
We promised to cherish and obey till death do us part.
But the day he parted , life grew dim.
And my red rose thus turned black as the midnight sky.
So I lay at night and weep and stare at a picture of him.
And remember our love as a red rose.
A rose nearly complete.
A rose almost perfectly bloomed.
But all I can do is lay at night and dream of my sweet till the earliest morning light.
A DAY TO COME
You sit in fright out of sight, you don't know when or why.
As the days go by, you see yourself in the mirror,
and hope tomorrow you'll be able to see a little clearer.
But you know one day the earth will be to stay,
his will be done and the sun will shine all the time.
The mountains high, the tides low,
and you'll wake up tomorrow.
WHEN THEY GO
One day they're here, the next day they're gone forever.
They'll never return to you again.
They go to the ground and dust they become.
And though nothing will ever be the same, one day you'll let them go.
Just leaving a place in your heart, to keep them safe.
Till one day you go too, and someone leaves a place in they're heart for you.
WE'LL MAKE IT THROUGH
Hold my hand and I'll show you the way.
I'll keep you close and true, you'll never be alone.
I'll always be here with you.
Watching you close never letting you out of my view.
It's a long way we have to go, but if we keep each other close,
we'll get through it one day.
So stay close to me, and I'll stay close to you.
Together we'll make it through.
HOLD ON TO DREAMS
Hold on to dreams, for when dreams go there's nothing left to follow.
Everything you know and hold in your mind, can flash before your eyes.
Once dreams go, which way is left for you to follow?
Your life the way you know it, is gone, never to return.
