The day is lonely
the night long, cold
and empty without you

Sleep slipped away yesternight
because I swan in thoughts of you.
Sleep simply walked away
because you're far away

It's painful sitting here all alone

I glance each time at the door
desiring to see your replica
walk in to ease my lonesome night

I sit all night,
waiting to hear your luscious voice
fill my empty night

Here I am, all alone
in profound thought
wishing you come
to my warn embrace.
