The Road I Left Behind
Since you broke this heart of mine,
Yesterday I have left behind.
As the night turns into day,
Time just keeps on slipping away.
I guess I will never know,
Why I could never get through
That lonely road, that leads
Me back to you.
When the night it grows so old
This love of mine burns into your soul
And when you look into my eyes
My love for you could never die.
