Late this night she waits alone she tries to forget the truth. The pain is intense her heart is so sore and bruised Wishing that the sadness had not come for its claim so soon. One life is so short so many things left to say and do. Crying softly for the one who cannot return Through the rain she sees a face he’s laughing in happy play. The face of a child, the child on a sunny day
Now and then I think of when His teeth were so small and white He laughed when he heard, the sounds in the distant night Later on his smile was gone His lips spoke of silent things The least he could do was more than his life could bring Oh what a shame what a terrible shame To be lost and found below the ground Beneath every child that plays His life was so short It's hard to believe today
Walking alone she's thinking How many days have passed Since her life's been broken Since her faith has fallen
