Goodbye Melody

Lets recall the fun times,
Smiles and lots of laughter,
with eyes so bright
When everything feels so right.

But sometimes, my dear,
this sinking feeling
comes along, creeping into
the melody of my happiness.

Dark shadows get cast
and roles get switched.

How do I keep on living
in this darkness,
not giving an inch...
not one single inch of my sanity?

So please pray with me,
as my hands reach to grab
at anything that will keep me
from this sinking depravity.

So please don't leave me alone,
and please don't get me wrong...
I love you
and you make me incredibly happy.

But sometimes that darkness
will creep back into the melody...

The melody of my gladness,
my wonderful light
my joy-filled ride through life
along rainbows and through
raindrops of everyday living.

And maybe its the number of days,
the sunrises and sunsets
that have been laid to rest,
their beautiful song
heard only once and then they're gone...

They fade away to history,
a time passing mystery.
When you go,
When you leave,
When you fly away from me...

Drive away and forget the moments
That threatened to rain on our parade.

I love you
And I will miss you.
So until next time, forget all the troubles
but please remember the smiles, the laughs
and that's what will carry us through

On until the next new note,
in this song we name our lives.
