Living for Forever

I spent far too many yesterdays

Trying to hide the pain

From all the disappointments

And feeling all the strain

Living for a dimming dream

That once shone in my soul

An Angel born in fantasy

To make my spirit whole

A pilgrim always searching

And stumbling on the road

Carrying the weight alone

And breaking from the load

Until you finally came to me

A heart so kind and pure

And eased the pain and loneliness

That I'd had to endure

I had always feared tomorrow

So I never shared this heart

Now I'm living for forever

And eager for the start

Of a life in love together

One free of pain and fear

Sharing all the love I've found

With one I hold so dear

Tomorrow

Well, I used to dread tomorrow

So buried in today

Afraid to make mistakes again

That I made yesterday

Believing that my future

Would be just like my past

Where dreams were just illusions

That never seemed to last

Until the sweetest Angel

From the past appeared to me

She showed me what was in her heart

And all that love could be

So, yesterday was just the path

That led me to this place

And tomorrow is another chance

To see her smiling face
