Tonight You Sleep Alone
Sleeping alone in our cold bed
I think of our life that lye on the floor dying
In a moments notice, the love is gone
No more tears to shed
No more disappointments to bear
Another life thrown to the wind
Another love dead to the world
In the past, our love was strong
In the future, I hope it is stronger
I know that my love was not enough
However, I know that my heart was always there
My mind may have been confused
Nevertheless, my feelings were oh so true
Knowing that you wait to walk away
Knowing that you want to be in his arms
I will stand aside and make room
Knowing that I am not the one
I am only a ripple in your life
In waves in the deep
My love you will always have
No matter what may transpire
I will always dwell in your memories
In the happiest times of my life
I cannot foresee anything as this
Waiting until the day, you say goodbye
I stand by your side wondering when it may be
The day that you say, “Tonight you sleep alone.”
