A slowly decaying grave, cuts a bloody mark A thousand years underwater in the dark It's been so long since I cried It's been so long since I cried It's not so easy for me to say goodbye After all this time, it hurts for me to even try It's been so long since I've felt you It's been so long since I've felt you An old canvas blankets us from the snow An hour left to freeze, just an hour to go, It's been so long since I lost you, It's been so long since I lost you. I hold you close in hopes of warmth under that deadly chill, Much too late they'll come to save us from nature's twisted thrill, But before I say goodbye, before I leave I have to let you know Before my life dies, I'll feel better if you know that Even though I know that it was such a long long time ago Since I was young and since the very first day that we said hello I've been holding onto the memories of your soft soft hand wrapped around my arm pulling me towards a box of sand where we'd play until the day was done and we both went home And leave those sandcastles to sit alone until the rain would come I loved you I loved you I remember when I'd watch life go by through a bus window, I'd watch the trees pass and hope that I would not grow so slow It's been so long since I felt that way It's been so long since I felt that way Down that long long road we walked through the falling leaves Hand in hand, happy words on our lips, a time of quiet relief It's been so long since I could feel at rest It's been so long since I could feel at rest your favorite song played you down the aisle, My happiness was reflected only in your loving smile, It's been so long since I have heard that song It's been so long since I have heard that song the roughest trip we took could never ever pull me from you all these years down the road I'm in pain to know that I'm not yet with you But I'll only say goodbye to this world which has missed you so Now it's my time to die, and I won't even cry because I know, that Even though I know that it was such a long long time ago Since I was young and since the very first day that we said hello I've been holding onto the memories of your soft soft hand wrapped around my arm pulling me towards a box of sand where we'd play until the day was done and we both went home And leave those sandcastles to sit alone until the rain would come I loved you I loved you
