[WORDS & MUSIC - WILLIAMS]      It was a cold December morning   Round about midnight   Hear a distant church bell ring   Doesn't really mean a thing   Suddenly I catch your eye   And much to my surprise   You are looking back at me   I wonder just what you can see      Tonight is when you go away   I hope I'll see you soon someday   Candle flickers in the corner of my mind   It has been so many years   Filled with laughter, filled with tears   I just hope the memories linger on...      Can't you see I feel I'm fading away ?   And I don't know if I can face another day   Hearing voices at the back of my head   If this goes on I'm surely gonna end up dead   This was never how I thought it would be   How was I to know you would have this effect on me ?   Like a stranger in a far-away place   Day to day, hoping that it's not too late      Oh, can't you see, you're all I need      So I walk this road without you   Now that you have gone away   Heading for the future not the past   Spend my time without you   Live my own life everyday   How long is the heartache gonna last... oh      Now you're gone and only memories remain   Remind me of you and help to ease this tragic pain   That I'm feeling like I'm caught in a mire   Nowhere to turn, no one to quench the burning fire      I thought I heard you softly calling my name   Can't be true 'cause things will never be the same   Tried to reach you but there's no one at home   Feeling lonely even though I'm not on my own   Can't believe how quickly time has gone by   Days and weeks and months in the blink of an eye   Wish I knew how the story will end   There is one thing - I hope we can still be friends
