Lonely Nights

Sometimes I regret leaving home
it's little things
like thinking of mamma's cooking
or the scent of sunshine wafting by
It's a cold place where I live now
but they tell me it get's better
just have to wait until spring

On lonely nights that seems and eternity away
darkness wraps itself around me
always with a somber embrace
these are times I wish the most
that you were here with me
I wish you could have lived to laugh
those thoughts always haunt me

If you were here, you'd be three
playful and joyous
brightening my lonely nights
and bringing warmth to my chilly hearth
If you were here, I'd cook you dinner
and some cookies I'd try not to burn
giving you sweet kisses on your forehead

But you are as cold now as these lonely nights
and there is no one here for me
and things never start to get easy
because when you left my side
I lost all the best parts of me
