When the Day Fades

 

And in the night I find her smile

Dancing through the shadows

And into my head as I dream

 

The going isn't always good

But it's getting better with every day

Slowly I'm forgetting about her now

And while I'm awake she goes away

 

But when the sun falls down

And I'm lying awake in bed

For awhile she's mine again

She slips into my head

 

Yesterday I found myself thinking

As I wandered through the city

I'll be okay if she'll only let go

But sometimes I wonder.. will she?

 

And sometime in August we disappeared

Years of smiles that somehow died

For the first time in so very long

I slept alone; I cried

 

It's getting easier these days

To walk with my head held high

People don't give me those crazy looks

And they never ask me why..

 

But when the day fades out once more

And I'm tossing in my bed

My dreaming brings her back again

She lives inside my head

 

And in the night I find her smile

Dancing through the shadows

And into my head as I dream
