Through My Prayers

Hard to believe I won't see you again
 We were just fighting when winter began
 The coldness of our words competing with the wind from the north.
 Still they make me shiver but in a very different way
 The pages of the calendar kept turning away
 I have some better words now but it's too late to say them to you.
 ♪
 My dream of all dreams and my hope of all hopes
 Is only to tell you and make sure you know
 How much I love you and how much I always did.
 ♪
 And yes I know you loved me, I can see it in your eyes
 And it was in your struggle and it was in your mind
 And it was in the smile you gave me when I was a kid
 ♪
 Feels like no one understands
 And my only chance
 To talk to you is through my prayers.
 I only wanted to tell you I cared
 ♪
 Every night after and every day since,
 I found myself crying when the memory hit.
 Sometimes it knocks me down, sometimes I just put it away.
 ♪
 Down in my mind where I don't care to go
 The pain of a lesson is letting me know
 If you have love in your heart let it show while you can
 
 Yes now I understand
 But now my only chance
 To talk to you is through my prayers.
 
 I only wanted to tell you I cared.
 
 I only wanted to tell you I cared.
