and in the darkness of my room as once again I realize sleep has fled and I’m awake and so be begins a another day memories seem as if a dream of what once was so long ago how I wish I could return to what now is lost in time pictures now just remain shadows of what once was they hold no feelings that I can touch cannot hold in my embrace hold them then close to me and theirs fragrance to breathe in little more than memories harsh light of day does wash away the pictures in my memory and the longings of the night dreams cannot be in the day oh that sleep would claim me and in dreams I could remain and live again in what once was that today are far away
