Hard to believe I won't see you again We were just fighting when winter began The coldness of our words competing with the wind from the north
Still they make me shiver but in a very different way The pages of the calendar kept turning away I have some better words now, but it's too late to say them to you
My dream of all dreams and my hope of all hopes Is only to tell you and make sure you know How much I love you and how much I always did
And yes I know you loved me I could see it in your eyes And it was in your struggle and it was in your mind And it was in your smile you gave me when I was a kid
Feels like no one understands And now my only chance To talk to you is through my prayers I only wanted to tell you I care
Every night after and every day since I find myself crying when the memory hits Sometimes it knocks me down, sometimes I can just put it away
Down in my mind where I don't care to go The pain of a lesson is letting me know If you have love in your heart let it show while you can
Yes now I understand But now my only chance To talk to you is through my prayers I only wanted to tell you I care I only wanted to tell you I care
