About To Break

Long ago, my life was filled with happiness It filled the air with its joyfulness. But now years of sorrow and despair have left their mark, And I feel my aching heart About to break.

So gentle as the wind blows My heart once filled the air with its loving soul. But now I know the ways of the world, And I feel my aching heart About to break.

I watch other souls love and die I remember those things all too well; I also used to live and love and cry But now as things have changed so much, gone so far, I feel my aching heart About to break.

I watched them all fade away, Anyone who ever cared. Like precious petals, they slipped away, From my grasp, from my life, forever and a day.

And as I reach the breaking point I see you standing there, as if it's something old, And I wonder why your there. All I know is, now that you're here, standing all alone, I no longer feel my aching heart About to break.
