YOU STOOD BY THE WINDOW

YOU stood by the window within your soul you cried
knowing that beginnings always have endings
you were always the positive one - but today life wins
the rain came down and the sun hidden behind tears
flowers, Mozart, and a red wine kissed you gently
death comes to those who have the strongest hearts


we pay the price for love every second of our lives
in the skies the gods smile down and say to us --
there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world
but this is my heart bleeding for you - down on my knees


why, you ask, do you believe in love these days
when the world tries so hard to say it otherwise
the light within your soul begs for romance - it wins
you tell yourself today you will change for the worst
that no lover will kill you so gently ever again
but deep inside you have a light that sways you


i stand by the window within my heart - it bleeds
rivers of red cascading down toward oblivion
its tearing me apart and you're okay with another
what can I say you found another to kill some day


this is the price we pay, a drama with sad endings
everyone loves a love story with broken hearts today
but you're strong with a broken spirit - it moves you
today you will become a new person with a smile for love


One day you were walking in the autumn wind with the colors
a strong wind stole your hat away -- caught by another
the kind soul returned your Cloche and gave you a smile...
and your light turned brighter for the promise of a new love
