Without you around

For: John Fountain
6-20-6
I thought that when I saw you there would be a sparkle in my eyes
But I didnt feel anything, finally my heart said goodbye
Ill never remember how I felt that night
When your arms were around me there to hold me tight

Ill forget the words that you sang to me making my eyes fill with tears
And all those times you were there to take away my fears
Those looks in your eyes when they first caught mine
Is something I dont want to remember unless I can turn back time

The way your fingers threaded through mine
Letting me know that you were there that everything was going to be fine
All those memories are in the past
There on the ocean floor, sunken at last

But wait, there is a memory that I will never forget
The one where you tore my heart apart with nothing left
That night you told my friend that you didnt have time for me right now
Thats the memory Ill take with me up to the clouds

The thunder will be my screams of heartache and pain
My tears will come pouring from the rain
My hurt and anger will just blow around with the clouds
Im forgetting everything without you around

Let the thunder roll and the lightning strike
Let the harsh winds blow all through the night
Then you can remember the heartache of pain in the thunder
The tears of my pain in the rain with wonder

As the storm goes on out of control
Now youll know how it feels to let your true love go
