Time has never stood so still,
As now these days I've been alone,
And I must sit and wait until,
The emptiness I feel is gone.
Thoughts of you I scarce recall,
But still I strain to see your face,
I search through crowded street and hall,
Hoping for a glimpse, a trace.
Daily motions without thought,
Forgetting what I mean to do,
Trying not to look distraught,
When all I do is think of you.
Through bleary eyes I make my way,
Down well knows streets, to and fro,
Another sorrowed song I play,
Relieving tears I've come to know.
I wait for phones to ring your name,
But they are few and far apart,
Still every one helps hold the flame,
That burns for you within my heart.
No photograph to hold you dear,
No lock of hair or precious stone,
I have but thoughts to keep you near,
Sweet memories have I alone.
But memories are fading fast,
A smile, a touch, a look, a kiss,
I try in vain to make them last,
I've nothing left of you but this.
