For a While
Could there ever be a day
That sorrow will cease and blow away,
May it travel to parts to me unknown,
That my heart have back a feeling of its own
For a while.
My heart has never quit its pining,
Each thought brings a silver lining,
And if you were near
’Twould ease my care
For a while.
No one knows why I sigh,
It’s love in my heart that cannot die,
Though now I regret
But cannot forget
For a while.
Now it seems like wasted years
To intermix with my bitter tears,
Though I’ve prayed to our God above
That He may return my only love.
For a while.
The beautiful stars in their glory
Has ceased to tell love’s sweet story,
They hide from me behind the clouds;
Will some one love me if my head is bowed?
For a while.
There’s nothing more beautiful than a smile
If it’s really meant from the heart.
