Holding On To Fading Love
by Richard R. Lee

I see the beauty in you,
You are my strength, my dream, a love come true.
Than one day you said you had to go,
And without a warning my tears started to flow.
You opened the door and walked down the street, than disappeared.
I stood there trembling in my own fear.
I sat there at the window with all the lights on.
Asking myself where the hell did I go wrong?
After awhile I went to bed and tried to sleep,
But all I could do was lay there and weep.
It was early in the morning I thought I heard your steps in the house.
So I got up and searched but it was quiet as a church mouse.
I stood there at the door feeling the fresh air,
Wishing to god you were here, to prove that I really care.
I was going to look for you just about noon,
But I said, “No I think my babe will be back soon.”
I waited and waited for a day or two,
As I kept yelling out the door “Baby, I love YOU!”
My voice seemed to travel for miles away,
As I sat here waiting for you day by day.
I’m holding on to fading love, because I love you that much.
You were my love, my happiness, more then a special touch.
I will sit here at the window hopping you will again appear,
Than I can stop trembling in my worst fear.
