As I saw you close the door As I watched you walkin’ away Than a light went out in my life, my friend And the darkness moved in a light day I’m not sure of the where or the when But I know It’ll happen again Just as time is a healer of sorrow So a love can depart live in pain When the sun shown high over I was luck and so much in love Now the winter winds they have blown us apart And I feel there is ice in my heart Oh, turn back the clock to the hour When the sound of your voice had a power That would set my heart a leaping And eyes lift my soul a weeping Oh, they tell me to smile and be glad I am free to be prudent or mad As the apple of life follows the flowing of time In the mist of the future unknown Know the meaning of sorrow and pain And my heart will wake once again Oh, my life has become a wasteland And my hopes just a ribbon of sand
