Shimmers like the morning dew

But fades away

Just like you.

It returns but never's quite the same.

Just between me and you

It rests in gentle solitude

So very simple�

Yet it blocks my way.

Beauty mixed with innocence

I never said the things I meant,

I never meant the things I said

That day.

Guided by love and ignorance

I'd trade it all

For just one chance

To say the things I've felt so very long.

Sitting there all alone,

Just wondering when

You'll be home

And make this pain of love disappear.

I just don't know,

What should I do?

There's none to gain

And even less to lose.

Why can't I make it better for us both?

As autumn falls

And winter breaks,

I pray to God my soul to take

Just anyone�please take me away.

Far beneath the winter snow,

The frozen ground

I see the glow,

That I fell in love with when I first met you.

See in me

What I in you

Just because I need you to,

It's your decision, my life is in your hands.

Everyday that passes now

I sit and cry

And wonder how,

Just when did I let you slip away?

All I need is one more chance,

A friendly smile,

A passing glance,

Just someone tell me what to do.

I've already let you slip away,

That's one mistake

I'll have to pay,

For all these days that I walk alone.

Your pale blue eyes,

Your soft white skin,

Your hidden smile,

They drag me in,

It's been so long since you've looked my way.

As autumn falls

And winter breaks

I pray to God my soul to take

Just anyone�please take me away.

Through all this time

And ache within,

I know that you would let me in,

If you knew the thoughts inside my head.

The little sparkle in your eye

Hinted at,

The darker side,

That never should have mattered in the end.

Just another sullen day,

Another week,

Soaked in gray

Can't even bring myself to speak your name.

As autumn falls

And winter breaks,

I wonder what

It's gonna take to make you see the little light...today
