She
doesn't share her dreams with him
He doesn't know what's in her heart
She closed that door long ago
And it tears them further apart
There was a time, oh years ago
When she shared all and bared her soul
But she learned that her dreams didn't' matter
And she felt those dreams grow old
For what he didn't know
What he never tried to see
Is that the woman that he wants
Is not the woman she can be
When he finally noticed her
Saw the light had faded from her eyes
He didn't know how to get it back
He'd never taken time to realize
That she was building walls around her heart
To protect her from her fears
He never took the time to hold her
Never tried to wash away her tears
So much time has come and gone
So much lost along the way
Until the walls around her heart
Hid all she couldn't say
So she came to this point in her life
At a crossroad with no way home
She holds her head up and keeps going
But it's a road she travels alone
There are no strong arms to hold her
No where left to turn
And looking back she wonders
If she should've let those bridges burn
For now her dreams are out of reach
Beyond a distant star
Leaving her filled with longing
For a love that could take her that far
She feels she's lost her way
Now that the dreams are gone
Feels her breaking heart
Just can't carry on
She searches for the strength deep inside
To be stronger than tears that she's cried
To never give up dreaming
Search her heart and search her soul
So that when the nights are long
She'll have her dreams to hold Joni
