One of These Mornings….
One of These Mornings….
One of these mornings,
I will awaken to a new dawn,
I will find you standing there,
as beautiful as I knew you would be,
You will be waiting there -
waiting for me.
So long I’ve been waiting for you.
Missing you, holding -
so many questions in my heart
just for you.
One of these mornings,
I will awaken to hear your voice.
It will sound as sweet
as it always did – before….
one of these mornings…
one of these mornings…
one of these mornings…….
One of these mornings,
I’ll hold my arms wide open
as I run into yours.
I’ll see you
like it was the first breath you took,
my tears will fall
just as they did that day,
and just as they did the day
you took your last breath.
The pain runs so deep,
I don’t know how I’ve kept it
so well hidden,
but now I can’t stop hurting,
searching, for answers
from a higher dawn.
Its as if years haven’t passed,
as if its that horrible day
all over again,
except this time -
this time I realize….
One of these mornings,
I will cross over
from pretending you’re just away
on some fancy trip,
I will cross over
from forgetting
how much it really hurts,
one of these mornings…..
I will start mourning,
I will feel the grief,
I will cry rivers,
I will feel the pain,
the pain I pushed away.
One of these mornings
I will awaken to a new dawn,
in a new place where truth
will set my heart free,
where I will learn to cry,
I will learn to grieve…
I will learn to mourn
for the daughter who had to leave.
One of these mornings…
mourning’s…
mornings…
mourning’s…
Yeah one of these mornings,
I will awaken to a new dawn
I will find you standing there,
as beautiful as I knew you would be,
you will be waiting there –
waiting for me.
