Lyrics
Once
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Once is all i ask of you
Come to me now
In my loneliest hour
As the silence surrounds me
You saw through my lies
As i held your gaze
Words failed to find
A voice again
I weep my desperate tears and
Wait for sleep that won't find me
Still i keep my deepest fears and
Wake to one more day alone
Once is all i'll ever need
For you to hear
Just a moment to say
The words i've rehearsed but still...
But i believe that
You'll see in my eyes
As i hold your gaze
A longing to have
And hold again
