Once - Shadowplay

Once is all I ask of you

Come to me now

In my loneliest hour

as the silence surrounds me

You saw through my lies

as I held your gaze

Words failed to find

a voice again

I weep my desperate tears and

wait for sleep that won’t find me

Still I keep my deepest fears and

wake to one more day alone

Once is all I’ll ever need

for you to hear

Just a moment to say

the words I’ve rehearsed but still

I weep my desperate tears and

wait for sleep that won’t find me

Still I keep my deepest fears and

wake to one more day alone

But I believe that

You’ll see in my eyes

as I hold your gaze

a longing to have

and hold again

I weep my desperate tears and

wait for sleep that won’t find me

Still I keep my deepest fears and

wake to one more day alone
