With tears that fall like raindrops,
that tap against my windowpane.
I sit here with a broken heart,
wondering if it will ever mend again.
The tears are for a love one,
who has gone far away.
Saying as they left I won’t be back
again forever and a day.

Forever is a long time,
and I wonder if my heart
will ever last that long.
They say that I must be strong,
but it is not them hurting so.
Only time can tell,
how long my heart will ache,
but in the meantime, life marches on.
