In the quiet of the morning, when the world begins to wake
I find myself still dreaming, of a love I couldn't keep
A silent promise whispered, on a day so long ago
That you would be forever, the only heart I'd ever know
My heart, a lonely vessel, adrift on a sea of pain
Waiting for your light to guide me, through the falling, endless rain
Every sunrise brings a hope, every sunset a soft sigh
For the love that never came home, beneath a silent, weeping sky
Years have turned like pages, in a story left untold
A vacant chair beside me, a future turning cold
I've searched a million faces, in every passing crowd
For a glimpse of your sweet essence, a whisper in the loud
My heart, a lonely vessel, adrift on a sea of pain
Waiting for your light to guide me, through the falling, endless rain
Every sunrise brings a hope, every sunset a soft sigh
For the love that never came home, beneath a silent, weeping sky
Then a whisper in the wind, a truth I couldn't deny
A gentle, somber knowing, as a tear fell from my eye
You were gone before I knew it, across the final shore
And the love I held so dearly, would walk with me no more
My heart, a broken vessel, now carries a different pain
No longer waiting for your light, but cherishing what remains
Every sunrise is a memory, every sunset a fond goodbye
To the love that came and went, beneath a bittersweet, clear sky
My heart still beats your rhythm, though you're beyond my sight
Forever in my keeping, my everlasting light.
