[First verse.]
As heart's quiet corner now holds a tear,
The past memory, now bittersweet and dear,
His hand stretches forth to capture what's gone,
Yet grasped is naught but memory's gentle song.
For in this moment, his heart does ache,
With memories of a love now out of reach,
His mind is filled with thoughts of what might have been,
As she now falls for another, his pain continued sting.
[Chorus.]
As love turns and hope doth flee,
His heart in sorrow now doth grieve,
For her sweet words and gentle touch,
Another's arms her heart's within now clutch.
His soul now aches, as he's beset,
By love's cruel twist, that once was sweet,
But now his joy is fading light,
And all is left is loneliness and night.
And in this dark, he stands alone,
His heart torn asunder by her tone,
A chorus of sorrow calls...
[Second verse.]
As sorrow deepens, his heart's bound in woe,
His thoughts consumed with the memory of her glow,
He once was her one true love, her only light,
Now he stands apart, his dreams turned out of sight.
The sweetness of her smile now fades away,
The gentle touch of her hand, a distant thing to say,
As another's laughter fills the air,
He stands in her shadow, feeling lost and bare.
[Bridge.]
His soul is torn, in painful strife,
As he watches her, his love's sweet light,
Move away from him, her love now gone,
And so he stands, heartsore and alone.
[Chorus.]
As love turns and hope doth flee,
His heart in sorrow now doth grieve,
For her sweet words and gentle touch,
Another's arms her heart's within now clutch.
His soul now aches, as he's beset,
By love's cruel twist, that once was sweet,
But now his joy is fading light,
And all is left is loneliness and night.
And in this dark, he stands alone,
His heart torn asunder by her tone,
A chorus of sorrow calls.
