I WALK THROUGH THIS LIFE

I WALK THROUGH THIS LIFE

I walk through this life one day at a time.

I don't want what is yours; I just want what is mine.

I may not always be able to read the writing on the wall.

Things that I thought would be there forever weren't really there at all.

I walk through this life trying to find a love that is true.

So far that's been the hardest thing to do.

There are those that say they will be there for you 'till the end.

Then you look around and they're gone never to be seen again.

I walk through this life searching for a home.

You can have a house full of people and still be alone.

There are some that the search for riches is their goal.

I've spent my life's journey searching for a mate for my soul.

I walk through this life searching for someone that is real.

I'm trying to find someone that will do what they say and say what they feel.

I'm searching for someone that will want me the way that I want her.

Someone that when I touch, her feelings will stir.

I walk through this life trying not to show fear.

I need someone when it's cold that I can hold near.

I need someone that can guide me through the dark into the light.

I need someone that when everything is wrong, she will make it right.

I walk through this life searching for a connection that will make a spark,

Someone that will make an explosion and light up the dark.

I've searched down below and I've searched high up above,

I've been in the wrong places and the right places searching for love.

I walked through this life 'till I found you.

When I saw your face I knew all my searching was through.

My feelings were so strong I really didn't know what to do.

But then you said you would always be mine, it was a dream come true.

I walk through this life and I learn that things that you have found can quickly be lost.

I learned that promises to be there forever can easily be tossed.

I've learned all about pain and all about despair.

Even though you said you would be, you're just not there.
