the happiness i know

I lie awake in desperation
Of wanting to feel you here tonight
Stare at the stars
That once filled the sky

Behind these eyelids of mine
Is a picture show of you and I
Holding each other close
In this bed where I sleep alone

Chorus:
I can see the dark in the sun
And only wonder if something is missing
I can feel the sweat on my brow
And swear that I'd still be freezing
The songs of the birds are silent
And as they stay they leave
Flowers drown in snow
Beneath the shade trees
Where leaves don't grow
Is all a part of this happiness I know

I remember all the things I forgot
To say to get you to stay
But what good do words from yesterday
Do you today

The past cannot be rewound
But is yet where I live
Subconciously my love to you
I give
Without admitting and debating
To see you I sit here waiting
But until then...

Chorus:
I can see the dark in the sun
And only wonder if something is missing
I can feel the sweat on my brow
And swear that I'd still be freezing
The songs of the birds are silent
And as they stay they leave
Flowers drown in snow
Beneath the shade trees
Where leaves don't grow
Is all a part of this happiness I know

So lie with me tonight
For just a moment
Until I open my eyes
All I want is
To remember you and me
Dancing in the summer breeze

I'll let you go for now
Cause every prayer comes to end
I will talk to you tomorrow
And see you when Heaven let's me in
But until then...

Chorus:
I'll see the dark in the sun
And only wonder if something is missing
I feel the sweat on my brow
And swear I'm freezing
The songs of the birds will be silent
And as they stay they leave
Flowers drown in snow
Beneath the shade trees
Where leaves don't grow
Is the only happiness I know

Goodnight my love, Amen
