A Lover's Lament
Evening shadows fall;
Pillar candles dance with light;
Burns a lonely heart;
Pillar candles dance with light;
Burns a lonely heart;
Fragrant scents arise;
To Heaven with hopeful prayers;
Love will soon arrive;
TV is turned on;
A black and white love story;
Bogey and Bacall;
Tissue box nearby;
So moved, I will be in tears;
As I watch them kiss;
I close my sad eyes;
I let out a heavy sigh;
Wishing it was me;
Popcorn in my lap;
A half-full goblet of wine;
I just smile and dream;
Will his heart be mine?
I guess only time will tell;
I must wait for now.
