I Never Heard You Say

There was something about you that scared me Could be a snake in your eyes. But you swore to my heart that you loved me And you'd never tell me lies. So I taught my ears not to listen And I guess that was my mistake But did you ever promise forever? I never heard you say. Your love was like a diamond Oh how it sparkled and shined. I looked from every angle But I never could see inside. So I learned not to question your brilliance, Though it faded a little each day. What was your reason for fading? I never heard you say. One morning as I lay sleeping I dreamed of a morning so cold I felt a wind blow through me That chilled me to my soul. I never heard what you were saying But I felt your kiss on my face. Someday, will you be returning? I never heard you say.
