Memories. All I’m left with now are memories. And the restless dreams … of a lost and lonely soul

Since you died … I’m afraid to close my eyes at night. Just to see the painful sight … of the one who I loved so.

Oh so weary, I constantly query the heavens above. Tell me: how can I go on alone after losing the one I love?

Every day … as I lie in bed at night, I pray: Help me unchain these painful memories … and sleep in peace tonight  

Memories. I’m surrounded by your memory. Sometimes it brings me peace. Sometimes I feel all bound in chains.

Oh how I miss your love … every time I see your coffee mug. Or I listen to the songs you’d sung. Or I smell the summer rain.

It’s so easy to say that these feelings will someday pass away. But tell me: how can I go on right now … missing you every day?  

Every night … as I lie down in my bed I cry: Help me unchain these painful memories … and sleep in peace tonight
