Paris

24. Paris

When the darkness of my soul tried to pull me through
I was brought back around to the warmth of you
But there was so much I feared as you drew me near
And I was calmed by the love in your eyes

And I knew down in my soul
These times will pass
Though the fire turns to coal
These times will pass, yes they’ll pass

Loneliness holds my heart and rules my songs
But it is in you that I see the rights to my wrongs
And your love will sustain me, that much is clear
I want to fill my mind with thoughts of you and I

And I knew down in my soul
These times will pass
Though the fire turns to coal
These times will pass, yes they’ll pass

I’ve wondered long and hard, thought of God and the frost
And forgot all the things that I lost
Cos I gained the greatest gift when it was your love I found
Now all I can do is make a happy sound

And I vow to you my life and my being
You are the sum of all of my dreams
And through the grace we’ve been blessed
It’ll be in Paris that we’ll rest

And I knew down in my soul
These times will pass
Though the fire turns to coal
These times will pass, yes they’ll pass
