A Love So Deep
(c) 1997, John L. Batzer, Jr.
I never thought I could feel,
The way I have
For a time so long
That I could not tell you when it began.
The way I have
For a time so long
That I could not tell you when it began.
There were times when I was so elated,
That I would laugh,
For hours on end
Without any reason what-so-ever.
That I would laugh,
For hours on end
Without any reason what-so-ever.
Smiling was something I once cherished,
But lately in my life
It's been taken for granted
For I've forgotten what it's like not to smile.
But lately in my life
It's been taken for granted
For I've forgotten what it's like not to smile.
I have known a love so deep,
That my past
Was forgotten
And my future looked brighter than I ever thought it would.
That my past
Was forgotten
And my future looked brighter than I ever thought it would.
It's not a pleasant feeling
To say "goodbye"
When you don't know
If you'll ever be saying "hello" ever again.
To say "goodbye"
When you don't know
If you'll ever be saying "hello" ever again.
A single tear was shed
From the pain
Of a parting
Which I wish would never have happened.
From the pain
Of a parting
Which I wish would never have happened.
But that single tear
Quickly turned
Into one
For each kiss we kissed and laugh we shared
Quickly turned
Into one
For each kiss we kissed and laugh we shared
I have known a love so deep
That I couldn't
Figure out
What I wanted with life anymore
That I couldn't
Figure out
What I wanted with life anymore
Why must this happen?
I never meant
To feel
So happy one second, and so lost the next
I never meant
To feel
So happy one second, and so lost the next
I used to feel nearly immortal
Nothing could
Ever get me down,
Yet now, I don't think I could get lower.
Nothing could
Ever get me down,
Yet now, I don't think I could get lower.
An endless stream of tears
Fall from my eyes,
Quicker than
The greatest waterfall anybody's ever seen.
Fall from my eyes,
Quicker than
The greatest waterfall anybody's ever seen.
I have known a love so deep
That I've been forced
To my knees,
Uncontrollably weeping myself to sleep.
That I've been forced
To my knees,
Uncontrollably weeping myself to sleep.
I see the face so very often
Everywhere,
When I close my eyes,
And when I dream, I only dream of her.
Everywhere,
When I close my eyes,
And when I dream, I only dream of her.
I feel her hand in mine,
Her lips
Pressed on mine,
And her voice echoes in my ears.
Her lips
Pressed on mine,
And her voice echoes in my ears.
I just refuse to admit
That now
I will be
Alone for a longer time than I would want.
That now
I will be
Alone for a longer time than I would want.
I have known a love so deep
That I am
Forced to question
The quality of my own sanity.
That I am
Forced to question
The quality of my own sanity.
Now I look ahead
To try
To see
When I will be with my love again.
To try
To see
When I will be with my love again.
Will it be soon,
Or far?
Whenever it is
Time will crawl by endlessly.
Or far?
Whenever it is
Time will crawl by endlessly.
All I want in life
Is to
Be with her
Forever and ever, never to have her leave my side.
Is to
Be with her
Forever and ever, never to have her leave my side.
I have known a love so deep
That the present
Is being forgotten
Just to figure out when the future will be here.
