startled one more time
out of another restless night
there's fear and terror in her eyes


she'll hide the tear stains
where she used to

find her dreams
there will be no more
sleep tonight


to close her eyes would
be to face him

replay a past
she thought forgotten
so today I'll watch the sunrise

hoping to catch
a glimpse of the morning dove
and carry her prayer to heaven


crying to heaven
hoping her voice will be strong

crying to heaven
she's hoping it won't be too long


shadows reaching out to her
the days are getting colder
she's trying to hang on

to every minute of every hour
tossing and turning the night is
tormenting her

and I'm helplessly
watching over her
so today I'll watch the sunrise

hoping to catch a
glimpse of the morning dove


I tried to hold you close
so close within my arms
trying to keep you save from harm

I used to believe that
things happened for a reason
now I'm not so sure anymore


staring outside her window again
her weary eyes upon the sunrise
