One Voice

For: John Fountain

Everywhere you look am I all you see
The part of you that wont let you forget me
I know Im not alone, not the only one scared
Im not the only one who ever cared

When I close my eyes its you I see
Maybe one day my heart will be free
When the songs come on that you sang to me I hear your voice
Not wanting to let go and its my choice

Everyone I see I look into their eyes
Asking myself why didnt I try
When I look around, youre never in sight
But in my dreams your there to hold me tight

The day after we went our different ways
I thought that everything was going to be okay
But when you just walked on by
There was not one tear in your eye

My heart dropped to my stomach, tears filled my eyes
That whole day I did nothing but cry
When I close my eyes I imagine your smile and laugh
What went wrong, why didnt this last

I try to wash the pain away from me
But every time I close my eyes its you I see
If it hurts at all you havent showed it yet
Dont look at me because theirs nothing left

I gave you my heart and my soul
How could I ever let you go?
My hands are yours to hold on to tight
My body is yours to hold all through the night

The only time it hurts is when I breathe
You broke a promise; you said youd never leave
A thousand prayers, a million words
Only one voice was heard

One voice, one simple word, hearts know what to say
Our dream couldve changed the world
The only one I hear all of the time
The voice Ill never hear again because youre not mine
