Lyrics
When I’m Over the Heartache
M. Litton
When I reached out this morning
When I reached out to take your hand
O what a feeling to find there was nothing
Now there’s nothing that I understand
When I’m over the heartache for you I’ll nevermore cry
When I’m over the heartache I’ll only be lonely
Lord, I wish I wasn’t lonely tonight
O girl I’d pray, but what good would it do?
Each night and day, filled with memories of you
Through heartache and rhyme, sweet rhythm and time
The dream still won’t come true
When the wind blows wild
And the dove like a child cries from his dark solitude
Like the lonely refrain from a century-old song
Or an old man who longs for his youth
That’s the ache my heart feels for you...
That night we walked the high hill
And gazed on the stars as they shined
We held it all in that moment
Some moments seem to last for all time
Climbing the staircase all the way up to our room
As I step to each tread my heart fills with dread
For I face another night without you
When I’m over the heartache for you I’ll nevermore cry
When I’m over the heartache I’ll only be lonely
Lord, I wish I wasn’t lonely tonight
O girl I’d pray, but what good would it do?
Each night and day, filled with memories of you
Through heartache and rhyme, sweet rhythm and time
The dream still won’t come true.
