Part 2
UNLOCK MY HEART
The days that followed left me numb, I couldn't feel a thing
There were so many things to do, so many folk to ring
Caught up within the whirlwind, I didn't have the time
To think about the meaning or the reason and the rhyme.
I only knew you'd left me, a life alone to face
And where I used to have a heart now dwelt an empty space.
The day came with a suddenness that swept me on a tide
The black suit doing nothing for the chill I felt inside.
How could I bid farewell to you, my lover strong and true
Why did you have to leave me when we'd so much left to do.
I had to face reality when everyone had gone.
The silence that surrounded me weighed on me like a stone.
I looked around the empty room we'd shared those few short years
And cried out in my sorrow, such bitter, angry tears.
In all my pain and anguish, I gradually sensed a change.
The atmosphere around me had begun to feel so strange.
I seemed to give myself up to the power - I had no choice
And from the darkness of the night, there came your precious voice
Sing no sad songs for me my love. I really had to go
But I'll never, ever leave you because I love you so.
I'm waiting in a room nearby where peace and love abound
And I'll be watching over you to keep you safe and sound.
Don't waste your life by wishing for things that cannot be
So from the vows we made that day, I hereby set you free.
Remember me with smiles and put away, in time, the pain.
Go out into the world once more and learn to love again.
The words gave strength and comfort to my lost and lonely soul
I'll try to do the things you've asked but with a different goal.
I wonder not so much if love will ever come again
But if it comes, will I unlock my heart and let it in ?
