MELANCHOLY MIDNIGHT
Melancholy midnight,
all alone-
candle burning bright.
The saddest songs on the radio
play so late at night.
Thoughts come drifting
to and fro-
Moods are shifting
fast and slow.
Songs taking me back
to the way it was.
One time or another-
a friend or a lover.
Thoughts are soaring,
never boring.
Remembering the ones
who stole my heart.
Not forgetting those
who tore it apart.
Feelings, emotions-
drawn up from the past.
The skies and the oceans
I've sailed at full mast.
The sadness,
the fun-
The moon in the sky,
the rising sun-
The times I thought
would never end.
New experiences
just around the bend.
Times I never will get back-
Loves found, loves ending.
Time to store it away
and pack for
a brand new beginning.
