Lyrics

"What Love Could Have Been"

Tonight I sit in front of the fires glow
A bottle of wine drank painfully slow
As the gentle warmth caresses my skin
I cry tears at what love could have been
I gave my heart to the one I believed
Would love me back the rest of my life
I didn't know that there would come a day
When we had nothing more left to say

Chorus
I stare at your picture, won't be the last
This old fireplace has seen only sadness
In the ember's glow I wish to believe
There will be a day when this cold fire
Spreads it's warmth over loves desire
I'll be able to shed the pains of the past
Open my heart and allow love to last

There's not a room from within this place
Where I don't find the memory of your face
You walked away leaving me here alone
Searching for the answers still unknown
I move through the crowds and hope to find
True signs of meaning within this life
I need to believe that there can be a day
When this pain will end and go away

Chorus
I stare at your picture, won't be the last
This old fireplace has seen only sadness
In the ember's glow I wish to believe
There will be a day when this cold fire
Spreads it's warmth over loves desire
I'll be able to shed the pains of the past
Open my heart and allow love to last

His is a voice that has calmed my soul
Given me strength, my spirit made whole
It's been awhile since I cried happy tears
I'm no longer afraid of the coming years
I closed my eyes and asked for his help
Life moves on once you're open to faith
I finally believe that there can be a day
When I'll be able to give my heart away

Chorus
I stare at your picture, won't be the last
This old fireplace once saw only sadness
In the ember's glow I now can believe
Soon will be a day when this bold fire
Spreads it's warmth over loves desire
I'm now able to shed the pains of the past
Open my heart and allow love to last
