Lyrics

I sit and I stare at the picture on the wall
the one you painted just for me
I see in the lines a simple sadness there
a message that says your going to leave.

Now I don't blame December at all
for taking you away from me
Its a simple kind of saddens when the one you love is gone
Its a lonely wind across the sea.

And this cold night goes on forever and all I want to do is die
for I don't know if I can make it though my life without you by my side.

Now I know its going to hurt to see you go
because I feel your a part of me
but I'm not going to stand in your way
and I know you've got to find your dreams

And this cold night goes on forever I wish you we nestled here in my arms
cause I'm gonna miss you more than you could ever know
when all I got left is this song.

So I sit and I stare at the picture on the wall
the one you painted just for me
A silver white dove sailing through the sky
flying so high and so free.


And this cold night goes on forever and all I want to do is die
for I don't know if I can make it though my life without you by my side.


The poignant sadness of losing a lover comes through brilliantly in this song...you can hear it in the passion-infused vocals. Best instrumentation featured is the guitar - solid and great sounding. Love the vocal harmonies. Effective lyric writing with the picture on the wall (v1) and returning to it in the last verse. Nice rise on the vocal near the end.

I love the feeling and emotive nature of this song!Would be great in a movie like "Love Story" with barbra Streisand.
