One more illusion shattered

One more broken dream

Oh that the morning brings the sun

Gone are the days when I could bounce right back again

See how the tears roll down

Like sweet summer rain

Where does it leave me now

I find myself so free again



Even the smallest traces

Of your sweet perfume

Open the floodgates and I'm helpless

Now as the moonlight shadows

Cast across my room

Only the whispered words

Are heard in the night

Only a silent prayer

'I love you still

I always will'



Out of the dark I stumbled

Into the light

Only my fear was tumbled

I think I always knew

That I would run to you



Somewhere there's children playing

Somewhere far away

Running with open arms to greet me

Over the hill the sunset

Dies and fades away

I turn and I close the door

With one last goodbye

I will return no more

I'll take my heart and let it fly
