What am I to say that won't evoke the pain
That never seems to go away?
Words are hard to find when nothing comes to mind
But echoes of an empty promise
Like 'I'll always love you', or 'I'll never leave you'...
History goes to show your absence only grows
With every letter that I send
Seconds pass away as hours turn to days
And though I've heard it said before
To let bygones be bygones
I'm not letting go of this love, no no
No no no
Cause day after day and time after time
I find myself watching the window
Knowing that year after year
The flowers will fade away
But the longing for you just gets stronger
Nights are getting cold and days are wearing old
With nothing but the thoughts of you
Photos on the wall remind me of them all
So coping isn't all that easy
Yet I'll always love you
And I'll never leave this to be, no no
No no no
Cause day after day and time after time
I find myself watching the window
Knowing that year after year
The flowers will fade away
But the longing for you just gets stronger
Day after day you know the clocks are turning around
The clouds roll on over as the sun settles down
But as yesterday vanished, so tomorrow is grace
Day after day
What am I to say that won't evoke the pain
That never seems to go away after
Day after day and time after time
I find myself watching the window
Knowing that year after year
The flowers will fade away
But the longing for you just gets
Stronger and stronger and stronger
Tell me, what am I to say that won't evoke the pain
That never seems to go away?
Words are hard to find when nothing comes to mind
But echoes of an empty promise...
