Sleepless Under The Stars
Sleepless Under The Stars
Sleepless under the stars I weep for you
My tears fall in a rumbling storm
Without any let up
An ocean of sadness
Collects my feelings for you
You are not with me
And the pain hurts so bad
Even the night won’t be consoled.
Your horizon stretches so far away
Loneliness is a heavy gravity
The sound of your name
Becomes a sad lament
I long for your embrace
All your affection and kisses
Seem a distant memory
Your absence weighs all over me.
So is there any delivery from this?
I pray for a cure beyond my means
The only remedy is you
My constant prayer and salvation.
There is a hurt so deep
You remain the only medicine
Love is your breath in mine
Waiting to exhale forever.
