Lonely Hours

Another lonely night closes in,
Dreaming of the things that might have been;
Waking to find that you're gone,
That's how my lonely days begin.

I try to fight the tears, but I cry,
Wishing for the days when you and I,
Shared our moments in time,
This is the pain I hold inside.

Refrain:
But at least I have your memory,
You will always live inside of me;
For there's this place in my heart,
Where only you were meant to be.

I just pray, it's not my destiny,
To be left for all eternity;
Holding nothing more that a dream,
Of all that you have meant to me.

A chilling silence fills the morning air,
As I gaze upon your empty chair,
Shadows that remind me of you,
Sometimes it's more that I can bear.

And all those lonely hours, in-between,
They've become a part of my routine,
Waiting till at night I fall asleep,
And hold you in my dreams.

Refrain:
But at least I have your memory,
You will always live inside of me;
For there's this place in my heart,
Where only you were meant to be.

I just pray, it's not my destiny,
To be left for all eternity;
Holding nothing more that a dream,
Of all that you have meant to me.

Ending Line:
Living with these lonely hours,
Living with these lonely hours,
Living with these lonely hours.
