Waltz Time

When the night turns to day
And you’re on your way
Don’t think of me fondly – my dear 

For I’d rather be left
With no hope and bereft
Than think you might return to me one day 

For I knew from the start
You were bound to break my heart
And leave me alone in the cold – dear

And although I could try
My love didn’t fly
It fell short and has wasted – oh dear 

And so now I’m alone
A man with no home
Just some walls, a floor and a ceiling 

When you’re phone never rings
And your heart never sings
You’re just left with this bottomless feeling 

But as days turn to weeks
The blush of your cheeks
And the way that you cried when you left – dear 

Make me think it was wrong
I’m not weak - no I’m strong
And I’m glad you’re not here but you’re gone – dear 

So when night turns to day
And you’re on your way
Don’t think of me fondly at all – dear 

For I won’t think of you
But of loves fresh and new
And the promise that light brings a new day
