One Day

/Verse 1/
Someday—or maybe not,
Sooner—or down the line,
Will it be what I sought,
Or just the end of my time?

But I will never, ever forget
Your deep brown eyes so true,
That smile from when we met—
My soul is bound to you.

/Chorus/
A new day will dawn,
A new day will fade,
I hold onto you—though you're gone,
But that day we had—mislaid.

/Verse 2/
I try to sleep, but sleep won't stay,
A dream appears, then slips away.
It all rushes past so fast,
Gone with the morning light,
Fading into the sun at last,
Before it even turns to night.

/Verse 3/
The day is ruthless—I know the score,
I've faced this pain and so much more,
Because I know, beyond all doubt—
We’ll never figure this all out.

/Chorus/
A new day will dawn,
A new day will fade,
I hold onto you—though you're gone,
But that day we had—mislaid.

/Verse 4/
I wish I could—but where's my nerve?
I'll change nothing; I don't deserve,
The night is near, the shadows creep,
But who is here to help me sleep?

/Chorus/
A new day will dawn,
A new day will fade,
I hold onto you—though you're gone,
But that day we had—mislaid.

/Bridge/
Insomnia returns again,
And heartache laughs right in my face—
Just like a faithful, bitter friend,
Leaving behind an empty space,
She isn't mine, she never was—
Just a ghost, a passing cause.
