“Remains”

“Remains”
Copyright by Frank A. DeCenso, Jr.

[VS1]
In the twilight wearing red you were my vision,
Never thought you’d leave
So quickly out of sight;
Holding you each evening was my passion,
But now my eyes stare
At your pillow every night…

[VS2]
Still the rain tiptoes across our bedroom window,
With midnights all lit up 
With sparkling lightning strikes;
The air echoes each lonely weeping willow,
‘Cause all this brokenness 
Comes crawling with a price…

CHORUS
When the wind blew I'd hear our loving laughter,
But it's fading out a bit more every day;
Still your picture keeps smiling on forever,
It’s the only piece of you that still remains.

[VS3]
If the darkness really cared I’d feel you breathing,
And I’d see your green eyes 
Looking up and into me;
But your moonlit smile never said you’re leaving,
Just giving me lonely
Lost midnight memories …

CHORUS
When the wind blew I'd hear our loving laughter,
But it's fading out a bit more every day;
Still your picture keeps smiling on forever,
It’s the only piece of you that still remains.

[BRIDGE]
If there’s one thing I have learned,
It’s that futures can be burned,
In a moment that can pull one life away

CHORUS
When the wind blew I'd hear our loving laughter,
But it's fading out a bit more every day;
Still your picture keeps smiling on forever,
It’s the only piece of you that still remains....
When the wind blew I'd hear our loving laughter,
But it's fading out a bit more every day;
Still your picture here keeps smiling on forever,
It’s the only piece of you that still remains.
