It’s said that’s it’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all
But it’s easy for those who say since it’s never their tears that fall
The rock that I built my life upon did crumble and turn to sand
But there’s only so many times that you can reach out for helping hands

I lost track of the number and times that people said “anything I can do I will”
But here at dead of midnight deep those offers they made were killed

Instead of burdening my loved ones to quench the pain I hold it inside
Instead of seeking help to heal
I bury myself deep and hide

It takes a special someone you know who helps to heal the pain
But how often do you meet someone who has anything past their strain

So here at 1230 in the morn
I make my final plea
Dear Lord up in Heaven above
Send someone who can save me

Heaven gained an angel
Who was born without her wings
She didn’t really need them
To do her work on earth you see

Heaven gained an angel
Who worked hard everyday
To provide for his small family
Across the country in every way

I was blessed beyond all reason
To have my Mom and Dad
I know I see their echoes
But emotions only feel sad

The stars at night grow big and bright
Across the sky above
Even beyond the horizon
I miss their daily love

I find myself doing little things
I know aren’t good for me
Is it subconscious desire
To be where they are free

close my eyes, and I see her
nothing is just as it seems
she walks softly in moonbeams
but can she live only in my dreams

staying in the shadows
trying not to make a sound
I see the light twinkle on her skin
feel her presence all around

through the forest
filled with trees
all is still
save a gentle breeze

every night I return to this place
to watch her quietly
to see her face
am I dreaming of the future
or a memory 'tis displaced

I listen to the birds softly chirping
as the daylight breaks
I see the highlights in her hair
the smile upon her face

I dread the daylight coming
for in that time I know
my dreams will end without her
oh how I love her so
