Like a bright warm day
In this dark brutal world
I knew what my heart had
It was very special too
But I knew that it was
For no more than a time
Because circumstance came
And took everything that I had

Years, take this longing from me
And God will take my heart back safely
I will hold on to one last memory
Because this life will do that sort of thing

Somehow it works for fools like me
Who believes there’s love in this contemporary world
When I looked into your beautiful sparkling eyes
I knew I cared for you
And you for me as well
But then the next day came
And spirited you away

Now my heart sits crying without you
With only God to protect my emotions
Will warmth return in my lifetime?
Or will I have wait for the long distant paradise?

No matter what I was
You wanted to be there
Even if I didn’t seem to understand
How you felt for me
Even though caring for me
Was the darkest transgression
You smiled warmly at me
When I sat beside you

But life doesn’t work out that way
God made circumstances to control these things
My heart still longs to be beside you
And to see your beautiful smile once again

So my mind reminisces
Over this distant memory
I guess only few people know what it’s like
To be on the threshold of true love
So now my lonesome spirit will
Seek the comfort of God
