In the wee hours of the morning Sleep won't come 'cause you're not here A new day will soon be dawning How I wish I could hold you near I wander through this lonely house No purpose to be found I feel your presence in every room Sweet memories abound I rummage through your belongings Just to smell your sweet cologne And feel your sweater against my face All reminders that I'm now alone I look down at my trembling hands And twist the ring around my finger Wishing you were with me still But you are gone and I must linger I realize my longing is fruitless My head knows what my heart won't hear But I just keep living in our past And the yearnings persevere Fleeting thoughts so bittersweet Keep flooding through my mind Of all the happiness I lost The day I was left behind Kathleen McCoy Eldridge© May 16, 2006 All Rights Reserved Music: "Missing You" Sequencer Unknown to Me
