FONDER TIMES
alone at night i wonder, where iíll find the might
to face tomorrow morningís wake-up call, after answering todayís
of weak and sad demeanor, iím finding it hard
to place my self-assurance on the line, and itís wasting away
ëcause the night is long and iím feeling blue
more so yet when the sun lets through
light that shone upon all we knew when yours was mine
and this rolled up blanket that once was you
must through now and forever do
half for one what it did for two, in fonder times
since youíve been gone, my darling
the face that i don is one of empty smiles and distant sighs
with your name engraved
and when iím asked about you, in memíries i bask
until reality comes racing home, and the truth is betrayed
by the telltale furrows upon my face
morning coffee with teardrops laced
still so bitter the aftertaste you left behind
and the fading photo that smiles at me
wakes no more to what she canít see
dreams we nurtured so lovingly, in fonder times
in fonder times, when the world was our wishing well
and every penny we threw it came to life
so complete was the laughter inside, not a pleasure could we be denied
would you tell me, dear love how it died, so i can move on
ëcause the night is long and iím feeling blue
more so yet when the sun lets through
light that shone upon all we knew when yours was mine
and the fading photo that smiles at me
wakes no more to what she canít see
dreams we nurtured so lovingly, in fonder times
in fonder times
