Through My Prayers

Hard to believe I won't see you again

We were just fighting when winter began

The coldness of our words competing with the wind from the north



Still they make me shiver but in a very different way

The pages of the calendar kept turning away

I have some better words now, but it's too late to say them to you



My dream of all dreams and my hope of all hopes

Is only to tell you and make sure you know

How much I love you and how much I always did



And yes I know you loved me I could see it in your eyes

And it was in your struggle and it was in your mind

And it was in the smile you gave me when I was a kid



Feels like no one understands

And now my only chance

To talk to you is through my prayers

I only wanted to tell you I care



Every night after and every day since

I find myself crying when the memory hits

Sometimes it knocks me down, sometimes I can just put it away



Down in my mind where I don't care to go

The pain of a lesson is letting me know

If you have love in your heart let it show while you can



Yes now I understand

But now my only chance

To talk to you is through my prayers

I only wanted to tell you I care

I only wanted to tell you I care
