Pray

Last night we talked about the rest of our lives
Where we might be in ten or so more years
I keep hoping nothing will ever change
And I'll have another moment like this with you tonight

I keep on thinking things will always be the same
But tonight you told me you might not come back
If I needed to tell you something to tell it now
But I thought we'd always have yet another day

Life is moving on and it won't slow down for us both
We have memories that are cherished dearly
But I now realize how I want more of them around
Please don't tell me I will have to look back and cope

Now I just keep thinking back to the past of better days
I didn't know much of love back then in my youth
But it struck me and I learned to cherish this feeling
Now I know I must hold onto this emotion, so tonight I pray

Don't make me go on in life having to remember
All the times I'd be with out you in my arms
Of your loving smile that brightens my days of gloom
You had promised me we would always be together

We are supposed to look back to now jokingly
I keep telling myself that this is not goodbye
We think about what tomorrow will bring fondly at night
You told me you could never do that without me

Can I survive it out there and make it without you somehow
I guess I thought that this joy with you would never end
I thought you would never become just a wonderful memory
Will this past be a burden that will follow me around
