How to Break the Silence?
I lay silently in a darkened room
For the gift of a ring I somehow entered this tomb
The kids are grown now we're always home
I’m laying here on our bed and I’m all alone
I wish my face could still make you smile
You haven’t looked at me that way for the longest while
I daydream about you till the sun starts to rise
You never look over here for the tears in my eyes
You never change anymore when I’m in the room
You lock the door and say don’t come back soon
If I praise your beauty and say I like your dress
You bite my head off who am I trying to impress
I wish my face could still make you smile
You haven’t looked at me that way for the longest while
I daydream about you till the sun starts to rise
You never look over here for the tears in my eyes
I can remember the feel of your soft skin
The way you used to look at me when I came in
We would laugh and dance till our legs got sore
Now we step on each other’s toes passing through the door
I wish my face could still make you smile
You haven’t looked at me that way for the longest while
I daydream about you till the sun starts to rise
You never look over here for the tears in my eyes
I watch you every day and all the things you do
I miss you darling I’m still so much in love you
