The Hands Of Time

Words of beauty and sorrow
Make my heart weak
How can I look at you?
How can I even speak....
Just to glance upon you
Just to say hello...
Then floods the memory
Of how you let me go

You chose as she was crying
As she asked, "Who will it be?"
Although your choice was painful
It was no surprise to me
Like I said before
There's no fighting fate
After you let me go
I could not sit and wait
Maybe it is best
There's no turning back the clock
Yes, I may be gone
But my loving didn't stop

Times are always changing 
Never knowing what's in store
My life is back on track
But you think this hurt you more?
Many nights I cried for you
Hating what I lost
All we have are memories
To pay our heartbreak's cost

Yes my heart is his
And forever that may be
But what I have with him
Isn't what you had with me
I wish I still had you
If only as a friend
I wish for one more smile
Maybe if it's destined....

You awoke a light in me
And it's shining now I feel
Close your eyes and think of me
It's shining for you still....
