I'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave
Your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me, me, me
It takes me back to the year I was 29 and my husband had just turned 32...1981....he died of lymphoma. This song captures the essence of the intense sadness, the feeling of being so lost and forlorn and broken hearted, knowing that there was nothing in the world I could do, to make him come back. I loved him so dearly, and we were so close in our lives, that we kind of blended into one another. The song, through it's haunting lyrics and mesmerizing melody can bring me back to that time instantly. I can feel the bottomless pain that I thought would never heal just as deep today as over three decades ago. It's the most beautiful song I've ever heard.
