Before you came and
changed my world
I could hardly stand living in it
One lonely, brokenhearted girl
Praying for someone to spin it
I lay in bed for months of nights
Staring at the ceiling
Thinking this life wasn't worth the fight
But who cared what I was feeling
And you were always too far away
When you weren't by my side
A tear slips down even as I pray
God, I'm going to be lonely tonight
I loved you heart and soul and mind
My body longed for yours
I loved you long and deep and wide
All day, all night, every hour
You spoke the most beautiful words of love
I was lost in the pools of your eyes
And the sun always smiled from high above
As we lay under bluest skies
But you were always too far away
When you weren't by my side
A tear slips down even as I pray
God, I'm going to be lonely tonight
So the fates that drew and tightly bound us
Cut and pulled us away
Oh, and that Hand that we thought had found us
Set us once more on the way
No words, no sound, no touch, my love
Captive in the abyss
I strained vainly for some reprieve from above
Your voice, your smile, your kiss
And you were always too far away
When you weren't by my side
A tear slips down even as I pray
God, I'm going to be lonely tonight
