I Never Heard You Say

There was something about you that scared me

Could be a snake in your eyes.

But you swore to my heart that you loved me

And you'd never tell me lies.

So I taught my ears not to listen

And I guess that was my mistake

But did you ever promise forever?

I never heard you say.

Your love was like a diamond

Oh how it sparkled and shined.

I looked from every angle

But I never could see inside.

So I learned not to question your brilliance,

Though it faded a little each day.

What was your reason for fading?

I never heard you say.

One morning as I lay sleeping

I dreamed of a morning so cold

I felt a wind blow through me

That chilled me to my soul.

I never heard what you were saying

But I felt your kiss on my face.

Someday, will you be returning?

I never heard you say.
