Julia
Julia…
Softly singing,
Your sweet voice carries away my pain.
Lost in a golden memory
I see only you.
Julia…
Joyfully laughing,
You were the only happiness I had.
Lost in a bitter-sweet reverie
I can see the past more clearly than the present.
Julia…
Gently touching,
You gave me courage to break free from hell.
Lost in echoes of the past
I see all your strength has given me.
Julia…
Sadly sighing,
You're wishing life was simple.
Lost in the pouring rain
I see can see everything you've lost.
Julia…
Quickly running,
You've finally met me among the souls of the dead.
Lost in the screams of the forever silenced
I can see you clearly once more.
Julia…
Secretly trembling,
You didn't know who to love.
Lost in the deep mirrors of your eyes
I see you've chosen me.
Julia…
Slowly falling,
You've given everything up for me.
Lost in the flutter of pure white wings
I see angels carrying you home.
Julia…
Achingly silent,
No longer is my name on your lips.
Lost in a pool of muddy water
I cannot see anything.
Julia…
Patiently waiting,
You're reaching out to me from heaven.
Lost in a fiery storm
I see you closer than you've ever been.
Julia…
Softly singing,
Your sweet voice carries away my pain.
Lost in a golden dream
I see only you.
