Twilight of Time

Sealed within the shadows, in the twilight of time

Looms the memories of our wayward dreams

They come with all our yesterdays, as the early morning dawns

In this never-ending cycle, as the stars begin to dim

I think of the troubled years, we've shared along the way

The good, and bad, even the awful shame, never seems to fade

This appears to be a part of us, within the shelter of our hearts

A reminder of the treasures in life, as we entwine into the light

Upon that bridge of destiny, which is soon to enfold

We'll age with total grace, towards that final goal

But not before I tell you, how much you've meant to me

With sad regrets, I seldom mention, how I truly feel

The essence which dwells inside my soul, has always been for you

So in the travels to a new beginning, as our sun begins to set

Remember my dear, between the sorrows

Reside the tears of passion, I've always held for you

If you could just forgive, all the hurt I caused

I wish in the days remaining, to smother your thoughts with love

So take my hand, hold me tight, and never let me go

For in the time God grants to us, the best has yet to come

Sweet Desire

Like the passions within a wishing well
Which no longer flows with dreams

Lies the thoughts of all the love I keep
Between the loneliness of my tears

I think of you each passing night
As I drift into a daze

In the shadows of your memories
Are heard the melodies of sweet desire

They come before the twilight
It wakes me to the dawn

Reminding me of that last embrace
Before the Angels took your soul

I cry each night, for the lullabies
We'll never share together

But this I know, as sure as the sun
Rises above the morning dew

That special day will arrive again
When together we'll be as one

In the songs we'll sing in harmony
Will be to praise our Lord and savior

For in the universe he calls his home
We shall live forever, in the paradise of his love
