She sits so quietly at the window by the door

Wondering if she'll ever smile again

Her eyes filled with memories and her life in sad array

Unaware of the colours of the day

She dare not cry for fear her hope might disappear

But if she cared to try I know it all could be so clear



But she's living in the past

She didn't know it wouldn't last

And it's a long long lonely road

To go down



The treasured names you called each other just for fun

And as you woke she'd kiss your eyes

You killed it all when it had only just begun

What's it take to make you realise



Love isn't easy though many like think it is

You must learn to give and take

Or know what you will miss



For she's living in the past

She didn't know it wouldn't last

And it's a long long lonely road

To go down
