To See The Sun Rise

I wish you were here, to see the sun rise.

I wish you were here, I still remember your eyes.


I can’t stand the days when you’re gone

The nights just close me in

The hours crawl back to me all alone

I hear your voice, but the sound is my own


As I wish you were here, to see the sun rise.

I wish you were here, I still remember your eyes.


I read the page, I touch the note

Telling me your gone

My body screams in anger and pain

My life will never be the same.


I’m watching the stars and wondering how far

How far I’ll go to find you

And as I watch the too blackened night

I know the answer is not to try to

And as I watch the too silent night

The tears they come to unwind you.


As I wish you were here, to see the sun rise.

I wish you were here, I still remember your eyes.
