Sweet Love

Sweet love, don't deny me just a hand to hold
I may not always be the one who sees
I find myself blinded from time to time
Reaching out for someone who can take the lead
And in my weariness I've tried to cry
Although my eyes are dry, I've cried inside
Sweet love, let me lay myself beside you
And listen to your breathing 'til it slows
Long enough to dream a vision of my life
Wrapped up in the gentle wind that blows
A vision of a life lived long ago —
I see it, though the lights are low
Sweet love, like the leaves that fall
The scenes go drifting by my eyes
And I remember holding you
Telling you that it would be alright
You know the road looked straight ahead from far away
But it turned into a blind curve
And I've lost my way today
