Words of Life, Love and Praise
Where Loves Joy Used To Reign
What happened to the happy life we planned
once-upon-a-time when joy prevailed
I've completely lost sight of who I was
and know not the face that looks back at me
How could we have come to this-
so little remains of the love I knew,
to where it has flown is but a mystery.
You look at this face each and every day
yet overlook what lay deep inside,
you miss the pain, loneliness and sadness
I feel for a love that used to be.
I cannot seem to make you understand
the frustration so evident to these eyes.
You may listen yet do not reach for the blood
my soul leaves damp at your feet.
So, this is the pains felt as loves last flicker dims...
Shall it all turn as gray and tasteless?
What of those promised happy tomorrows?
I guess they too, shall fall into the abyss.
How can you not see that this, my soul
now lay still and silent...
where loves joy used to reign.
once-upon-a-time when joy prevailed
I've completely lost sight of who I was
and know not the face that looks back at me
How could we have come to this-
so little remains of the love I knew,
to where it has flown is but a mystery.
You look at this face each and every day
yet overlook what lay deep inside,
you miss the pain, loneliness and sadness
I feel for a love that used to be.
I cannot seem to make you understand
the frustration so evident to these eyes.
You may listen yet do not reach for the blood
my soul leaves damp at your feet.
So, this is the pains felt as loves last flicker dims...
Shall it all turn as gray and tasteless?
What of those promised happy tomorrows?
I guess they too, shall fall into the abyss.
How can you not see that this, my soul
now lay still and silent...
where loves joy used to reign.
