A Tear.. A Smile & The Kiss That You Left Me
I'm Sitting here in this empty room staring out of my window at the sky
I got one song on repeat all day..It's called "Tonight I wanna Cry"
Ever since she went away that sky looks so dark and plain
And ever since she left that day these tears they fall down just like rain
Not from my eyes but my heart inside.. Yes tears of hurt and grief
The very same heart you stole that day and the one you just gave back to me
Time moves on and days go by but the hands on that clock seem so still
Sometimes I wanna turn it back and see if those dreams I could fulfill
Dreams of Love and Dreams of Hope that one day in the future I would see
You in my arms and the earth would stand still when you flash that smile back at me
Not the smile on those lips but the one in my heart... Yes the one you engraved so delicately
The very same heart you stole that day and the one you just gave back to me.
So I'm still sitting in this room, not a thing has changed.. Like I have nobody in the world alive
And I got the same song on repeat all day... it's called "Tonight I wanna cry"
Will I ever get out of this life filled with dreams or will I ever forget that soft touch
The moment your lips touched mine that day.. My God.. I just miss you so much
Not just the kiss on my lips, but the one in my heart... Yes the one like a tattoo now it feels
The very same heart you stole that day and the one you just gave back to me.
Two years have gone by and a few things have changed, but your memory still plays on in my head
Not a day goes by when I don't think of you as I lay down all alone in my bed
But there was one thing that I'll always remember and just one thing that still keeps me alive
When I kissed you goodbye and you whispered ... "I Still Love You" ... then you laid your head down and died
Through all these years I kept thinking.. how once you stole my heart, then just left me and gave it back this way
But after all these years now I know.. "A Tear", "A Smile", "A Kiss" on my heart, like a tattoo you left here to stay
I know you never meant to give it back to me and still wish you could be with me so near
I guess now I know why the saying goes this way... Love starts with a Smile, Grows with a Kiss... Because it sure did end with a Tear !!!!!
