Till I Hear You Sing

The day starts, the day ends

Time crawls by

Night steals in, pacing the floor

The moments creep

Yet I can't bear to sleep

'Til I hear you sing

And weeks pass, and months pass

Seasons fly

Still you don't walk through the door

And in a haze I count the silent days

'Til I hear you sing once more

And sometimes at night time

I dream that you are there

But wake holding nothing

But the empty air

And years come, and years go

Time runs dry

Still I ache down to the core

My broken soul can't be alive and whole

'Til I hear you sing once more

And music, your music

It teases at my ear

I turn and it fades away

But you're not here

Let hopes pass, let dreams pass

Let them die

Without you, what are they for?

I'll always feel no more than halfway real

'Til I hear you sing once more
