| Silhouettes I sit on a bench across the street from your apartment And I see the silhouettes on your window shade The two of you so close together you appear as one And I watch as you slowly lower your lips to hers And as your shadow melds into hers I feel as if a knife is twisting inside my heart I shouldn't be here, I know You made it very clear that you no longer wanted me But I held the hope in my heart that you would change your mind Though I can tell from the way you're kissing her That she now holds your heart And though I should leave, I'm frozen here Watching the dance of your silhouettes on the shade Until at last the light goes out And with it the last of my dreams Copyright � 4/15/2001 Terri Lyn Stanfield All Rights Reserved |

| Life's Funny That Way I saw you today with your new family And you looked so happy and right together We spoke for a while You introduced me to your love I introduced you to mine And as we went our separate ways I thought to myself how funny life can be There was a time when I wanted nothing more than to spend my whole life with you When I thought I wouldn't survive without your love When I thought I would die over our breakup And yet, today I am oh, so thankful that things turned out as they did For if they hadn't, I would never have known my true love And from the look of it, you feel the same Funny how life just works itself out What we had was good What we've got is great And I don't think we could have had one without the other Copyright � 4/13/2001 Terri Lyn Stanfield All Rights Reserved |
