They say that hope,
is the last thing to die.

Somedays I feel it's all in vain and worthless.
But then I remember that everything has a purpose.

So even when I feel like giving up.
I'll raise my head and move on.
I have made a choice and I won't stop.
Cause it's through God that I am strong.

There are days when I start to lose hope.
I feel like falling while walking on a rope.

But when hope dies,
is when faith shines.

I try to hide it
But everyone can see it
That I miss you
And I need you

That I've been unhappy since you left

Can't hide the sorrow
Can't hide the pain
I feel so hollow
Was it all in vain?

I feel like there was a theft

Nothing was stolen
But my love
My heart is swollen
You are all I can think of

Don't let me standing under the rain

As each day goes by
I want to tell you
Don't say goodbye
I still love you

Please don't tell me it was all in vain

I miss your touch
I miss your smile
I miss your voice
Saying "You are mine"

I dream of the day
I can call you mine
Holding hands again
Just you and I

Only my pillow knows how many tears I’ve shed,
Every single night while I was crying on my bed.

Only the mirror knows the true face of my pain,
When my heart feels like it has been slain.

Only my bed has heard my cries of absolute dismay,
As the love of my life decided to go away.

Only the stars have stared directly into my soul,
Only they have seen that my heart has a hole.

But…

Only your smile can bring back mine
Only your hugs can make me warm,
Only your eyes can make mine shine
Only you can bring peace to my storm

Beautiful butterfly
In my heart and mind
Don’t ride the wind
Don’t leave me behind

Beautiful butterfly
Don’t fly away
Tell me the secret
For you to stay

Beautiful butterfly
You make me smile
You help me forget
The bad and the vile

Beautiful butterfly
Please stay with me
That is my one
And only plea
