FOR YOU

I wonder why the sun keeps rising, rising

How can it shine without you

I wonder how the flowers keep growing, showing

That life goes on without you

I see you smile, I hear your thoughts

Like lights on my dull day

But I can’t reach and touch you

Now you’re one whole life away

When I think of all the times we’ve had

The tears come fighting through

The world may not stop turning

But I still cry for you

 

I wonder why the sea keeps falling, rising, falling, rising,

How tides still turn without you

I wonder how the wind keeps blowing showing

That life goes on without you

I feel the sun and wind and watch the swelling of the sea

Without you there to join me

It’s a frozen world for me

When I think of all the times we’ve had

The tears come fighting through

The world may not stop turning

But I still cry for you
