Story Behind The Song

My wife and I had been separated for almost two years when I wrote this and I was losing steam waiting to reconcile.

Song Description

A man wonders if and when he and his estranged wife will get it back together, as he's hit with the realization of how he really feels about her.

Lyrics

How much time will pass on by?
The clock moves slowly when you're all alone
So many nights I've sat and cried
Wondering if you'll ever come back home

All I know is that I want you
No one else can help me deal
Love can never be forgotten when it's real
All I know is when I see you
I start spinning like a wheel
Love can never be forgotten when it's real
That's the way I feel

How long can we carry on? The troubles in between us don't belong
So many rights don't make a wrong
Remembering what we had it's been so long

All I know is that I want you
What you give I'll never steal
Love can never be forgotten when it's real
All I know is that I need you
More than anything my dear
Love can never be forgotten when it's real
That's the way I feel

I've never known too much, I don't know what to say
I've been out of touch, lost in yesterday
But I promise you, if you want me to
I'll learn a better way

How long is this road we're on, winding us away from where we've been
Remember when we were so strong
Why don't we go back there once again

All I know is that I want you
Whether low or so surreal
Love can never be forgotten when it's real
All I know is that I need you
More than anything my dear
Love can never be forgotten when it's real
All I know is when I see you
I'm spinning like a wheel
These emotions are revealed
This feeling is so strong, I know we can hold on
I won't let you go because it's real
That's the way I feel
