about
A simple song of parting and delusional reunion.
lyrics
One day the sun will shine
In a perfect way just for us
We’ll get away your hand in mine
Leaving our troubles behind
Oh, for you I fell so hard
I miss you each time that we’re apart
Bless me with your gentle touch
There’s nothing in the world I want so much
How many days away, I’m counting
‘Til I can finally reach out and hold you close to me
How many ways can I say sorry
That I couldn’t be the man you wanted me to be
I know you need your time
But one day, you’ll be mine
I’ll sing for you while you’re away
Hoping my voice guides you home
The lonely nights won’t be in vain
When we return to where we belong
Oh, for you I fell so hard
I miss you each time that we’re apart
Bless me with your gentle touch
There’s nothing in the world I want so much
How many days away, I’m counting
‘Til I can finally reach out and hold you close to me
How many ways can I say sorry
That I couldn’t be the man you wanted me to be
I know you need your time
But one day, you’ll be mine
Parting the seas of frustration and sorrow
The end was too far and out of view for you to follow
But you know, and I know, we’re not better off alone
So I’ll keep stoking this old fire to stay warm…
How many days away, I’m counting
‘Til I can finally reach out and hold you close to me
How many ways can I say sorry
That I couldn’t be the man you wanted me to be
I know you need your time
Still you’re always on my mind
I’m praying that one day, one day, you’ll be mine...
