[WORDS & MUSIC - WILLIAMS]



It was a cold December morning

Round about midnight

Hear a distant church bell ring

Doesn't really mean a thing

Suddenly I catch your eye

And much to my surprise

You are looking back at me

I wonder just what you can see



Tonight is when you go away

I hope I'll see you soon someday

Candle flickers in the corner of my mind

It has been so many years

Filled with laughter, filled with tears

I just hope the memories linger on...



Can't you see I feel I'm fading away ?

And I don't know if I can face another day

Hearing voices at the back of my head

If this goes on I'm surely gonna end up dead

This was never how I thought it would be

How was I to know you would have this effect on me ?

Like a stranger in a far-away place

Day to day, hoping that it's not too late



Oh, can't you see, you're all I need



So I walk this road without you

Now that you have gone away

Heading for the future not the past

Spend my time without you

Live my own life everyday

How long is the heartache gonna last... oh



Now you're gone and only memories remain

Remind me of you and help to ease this tragic pain

That I'm feeling like I'm caught in a mire

Nowhere to turn, no one to quench the burning fire



I thought I heard you softly calling my name

Can't be true 'cause things will never be the same

Tried to reach you but there's no one at home

Feeling lonely even though I'm not on my own

Can't believe how quickly time has gone by

Days and weeks and months in the blink of an eye

Wish I knew how the story will end

There is one thing - I hope we can still be friends
