Silent Tears
I could not help but notice as the day turned into night
that it was indeed your time to leave
you were turning towards the light.
You promised somehow I'd get through it, for I had known all along
eventually god would take you, although your will was iron strong
As you spoke, one silent tear rolled down your paled cheek
you whispered you were leaving, your body was so weak
you said your life on earth had ended
it was time for you to leave
you asked me not to cry
but only to believe
I must open my heart to see you, a butterfly in flight,
a sudden breeze amongst the heat
a shooting star in the night.
I must open my heart to see you, close my eyes, say a prayer
I must keep my heart open
and forever you'll be near.
One silent tear rolls down my lonely cheek.
One silent tear rolls down my lonely cheek.
