Once Upon A Time and Place

Once upon a time and place
I saw a smiling face.
Arms took me in an embrace
once upon a time and place.

I was young and full of woe.
You didn’t even know –
you were my safe place to go
for I was young and full of woe.

Even as you held me tight
the day turned into night.
Darkness overcame the light
even as you held me tight.

Then your arms let go of me,
but I couldn’t see.
You said that we’re meant to be,
then your arms let go of me.

Once upon a time and place
I wore a smiling face.
Then a love did fall from grace,
once upon a time and place.

heartbreak-1209211__480

Last night I dreamed you held me tight
and whispered in my ear.
I kissed you softly through the night,
in heaven with you near.
At some point as the morning sun
shone on a distant hill
I woke and knew the dream was done
and lonely was I still.
The sweet caress of love remained,
the swelling of my heart,
but bittersweet I lay there pained,
for we were e’er apart.
And then I cried in heartbreak true
for never would I see.
It’s only in the dreams that you
still live in memory.

Tell Me of A Summer’s Day

Tell me of a summer’s day
when the sunlight shone so bright,
chasing loneliness away
though the day still turned to night.

Tell me of a summer rain,
warm and soft as true love’s touch
that freed me from the searing pain
of longing for you far too much.

Tell me of the summer morn,
when the day broke on our love
that like budding blooms was born
out of something from above.

Tell me, when did darkness fall,
when the rain trurned icy cold,
why the blooms began to fall,
how our love could grow so old?

Tell me of a summer’s day
when a heart now turned to stone
can face the truth I dare not say –
even with you, I am alone.
