It's a long way back to your heart

and I don't know exactly where to start

we've been together so many years

there's been pain, laughter, and some tears

but now when I look into your face

someone, or something has taken my place

you're always very kind and polite

and we share the same bed every night

but when I look into your eyes

I know that your love for me has died

we share children and a home

and yet I feel so all alone

we smile over coffee, bacon, and eggs

and then we go our separate ways

and when the week comes to an end

we're never lovers, only friends

when did we stop being husband and wife

and start to live such separate lives

how did I miss it, why didn't I see

what was happening to you and me

but you're still here after all these years

but how long will you stay, that's my fear

I don't want  to lose you, I don't want you to go

and somehow I must let you know

it's a long, long way back to your heart

but saying I love you

is the right place to start !
