lyrics

She held him long ago
And now he’s gone, it hurt her so, hurt her so
As everyone around her screamed
And fell asleep, or so it seemed… so it seemed…

His cheek had softly touched her face
Words whispered in her ear of never ending love
Beyond time and space
His eyes were chocolate brown and deep
He looked at her as he laid down
Into a sea of red
And forever fell asleep… forever fell asleep… forever fell, forever fell, forever…

She tried, but she could not wake him up
His face was pale, his hand went cold
Tears streamed down and dropped into his lap
She stood as her heart broke in two
She gave him half and walked away
Before she saw him turning blue…

Since then her heart’s been aching bad
She lost her love in games of men
Countries fighting, power hungry, completely mad
In time, she also lost her friends
Her parents, brothers, sisters now asleep
And I guess, that’s where this story ends…
That’s where this story ends, that’s where this story, where this story, where this story ends….

Not quite,
She did survive the war,
But as a shadow of herself, life will never be the same as before
She loves her brown-eyed sweetheart still
And misses her whole family, her friends, and always will…

And from her broken heart she gives
All of her love to those in pain, just the same
While she does not complain
One day, she says so in her mind,
She’ll meet her brown-eyed sweetheart once again
In a world, that is warm, in a world, that is warm and kind.
