Til I Hear You Sing

The day starts, the day ends
 Time crawls by
 Night steals in, pacing the floor
 The moments creep
 Yet I can't bear to sleep
 Till I hear you sing
 And weeks pass, and months pass
 Seasons fly
 Still you don't walk through my door
 And in a haze
 I count the silent days
 Till I hear you sing once more
 And sometimes in darkness
 I dream that you are there
 But wake holding nothing but the cold night air
 And years come, and years go
 Time runs dry
 Still I ache deep in my core
 My broken soul
 Can't be alive or whole
 Till I hear you sing once more
 And music, your music
 It teases at my ear
 I turn and it fades away and you're not here
 Let hopes pass, let dreams pass
 Let them die
 Without you, what are they for?
 I'll always feel
 No more than halfway real
 Till I hear you sing once more
