Lyrics

Each night I lay here with your body next to mine You’re just so far away - I long for a different time Just like in the photographs… In the frames that line our hall Every trouble – every care used to seem so small I lie awake watchin’ you sleep – your chest, the rise and fall What once was love weighs heavy now – and the silence says it all How’d you get so far away? There was a time I was your everything – You made me a better man I could always take a stand when I knew you were beside me Now I’m here holding on – I know this love we have ain’t really gone Prayin’ you forgive my mistakes – ‘Cause I know how much it takes to love a man like me I find myself watching you whenever we’re in a crowd Your eyes once said a thousand words – Now I only hear you out loud Distant looks and empty stares cut me to the core All that I can think about – Is how we should be so much more You say that I won’t let you in – And I know it must be true But, I swear that I’ll keep tryin’ – Got to prove that I still love you How’d you get so far away? There was a time I was your everything – You made me a better man I could always take a stand when I knew you were beside me Now I’m here holding on – I know this love we have ain’t really gone Prayin’ you forgive my mistakes – ‘Cause I know how much it takes to love a man like me This ring on my finger is my promise to you Each night I pray askin’ the lord – “Show me what to do” I just can’t let us slip away – And I know that’s where we’re bound But, I believe that we still have a chance to turn this thing around How’d you get so far away? There was a time I was your everything – You made me a better man I could always take a stand when I knew you were beside me Now I’m here holding on – I know this love we have ain’t really gone Prayin’ you forgive my mistakes – ‘Cause I know how much it takes to love a man like me I pray you’ll forgive me my mistakes ‘Cause I know how much it takes to love a man like me
