The Night the Love Died

Last night while I was sleeping
You held me in your arms
It felt the way we used to be
Till I woke to find you gone
I loved you so completely
I can't believe it's true
How you could turn away from me
While I'm still in love with you

I can't forget the night the love died
Because a part of me was ripped away
And as my passion lingers on
No, not all my hope is gone
While your memory remains

At least we knew the laughter
I know we shared the pain
I walked for what seemed hours tonight
In the thunder and the rain
Beneath your window in the dead of night
And only feel from where you slept
Because my vigil till the dawns light
Was as close as I could get

I can't forget the night the love died
Because a part of me was ripped away
And as my passion lingers on
No, not all my hope is gone
While your memory remains
For now I'm haunted by your love light
I built you battlements to keep you safe
But now the walls that faced the fray
Crumble battered and decayed
You let it slip away

Dream through my eyes tonight
Waking every time, alone somehow
Who can I turn to now

You were my life, the light
Soul mated lovers, closest friends,
Why did it have to end

I can't forget the night the love died
Because a part of me was ripped away
And as my passion lingers on
No, not all my hope is gone
While your memory remains
For now I'm haunted by your love light
I built you battlements to keep you safe
But now the walls that faced the fray
Crumble battered and decayed
You let it slip away

And so I'm helppless and afraid
That with so much left to say
You let it slip away
