Here In Your Arms (I wish it were this way)

It's been thirty minutes
But it feels like three hours
My tears have been gushing
In torrents and towers

I need you so badly
I want you right here
Everything feels better
Whenever you're near

You'd look into my eyes
And then ask me why
I'm being so silent
Still wanting to cry

You'd then take my hand
And hold it just right
The warmth of your touch
Voids the pain of a fight

You'd then pull me close
Hold me to your chest
Take away the sorrow
And all the rest

Run your hand through my hair
And give me a kiss
Remind me that I'm
The one who you'll miss

The silence engulfs us
We're brought to a still
Please hold me tighter
As tight as you will

I feel myself lost
In your sweet embrace
Then I thank God
For you as my grace

I hug you back
Come up to your ear
And softly whisper
"I love you, my dear"

You look in my eyes
And I see a gleam
A tear that is happy
Sad as it may seem

Then I look in deeper
Right into your soul
Where words start to falter
Where love fills the hole

A screaming so strong
It tears through my heart
It's the pain that I feel
Whene'er we're apart

The silence then fades
I hear your heart beating
It's the last sound I hear
Before I stop breathing

A smile breaks out
As I recall my life
It's just too bad
You're not yet my wife

I hold you tighter
And kiss your soft cheek
I beg your forgiveness
"My darling, don't weep"

You know that I love you
I hope it did show
How much you love me
I may never know

I say my farewell
I hope you'll take care
Look deep in your heart
I'll always be there

It's here in your arms
That I've felt your love
Here in your arms
That I've found my home

Time slows down
Silence once more
Now I must go
Through Heaven's door

There is no place better
Than here in your arms
There's no happier death
Than here in your arms
