Years

Faded photographs   the feelings all come back

Even now sometimes  you feel so near

And I still see your face   like it was yesterday

It’s strange how the days turned into years

Years of hanging on    to dreams already gone

Years  of wishing you were here

After all this time    you’d think I wouldn’t cry

It’s just  that I still love you   after all these years

Nighttime gently falls   another day is gone

I turn around to find   you’re still not here

I leave the hall light on   in case you come back home

But  I’ve been saying that  for years

Years of hanging on   to dreams already gone

Years  of wishing you were here

After all this time   you’d think I wouldn’t cry

It’s just  that I still love you  after all these years
