Like the Tide                      

All the chances I was given,

The countless days I could have told you,

All the passing moments,

That could have made love true.

Rolled away with the tide,

Washed away all my pride.

Storm clouds gathered,

And love was scattered,

Forever lost out at sea,

You were taken from me.

Every second I could have told you,

The many minutes I had to hold you,

Every hour I could have confessed,

But every day I passed up that chance.

Swept away with the tide,

Rinsed away all my pride.

Heaven erupted,

And love was interrupted,

Forever lost out at sea,

You were stolen from me.

Now you rest forever,

The bond eternally severed,

Now I can only wait here,

Until I join you there.

Taken away by the tide,

The final blow to my pride.

The tempest roared,

And hearts soared,

Forever lost out at sea,

You were taken from me.
