Love Interrupted

She sits in the dark
Watching him sleep
Trying so hard
Not to weep
She prays for a moment
Another chance
One more song
Another dance

She closes her eyes
She slips away
To a happier time
A long lost yesterday
They were so young
And so in love
Lost in each other
And the stars above
Thanking the fates
For this second chance
Two time losers
In the game of romance
Who found safe haven
In each others arms
Solace, Peace
Comfort and warmth

He was older
Much more secure
She was younger
A touch immature
Though all that mattered
Was their newfound love
Losing themselves
In the stars above

They grew together
Their new love proved strong
Not always perfect
But never, ever wrong
The seasons passed
Their comfort grew
Dreams of the future
A love forever new
Growing old
In each others arms
Growing old
Safe and warm

She sits in the dark
Watching him sleep
Trying so hard
Not to weep
Hiding the pain
Deep in her eyes
As she watches
He slowly dies
