Today my heart feels so lonely
and I just don't quite understand
I can't put my finger upon it
for it's as quick as the slight of a hand
It's like a flash of light in the darkness
it's a hollow spot deep down in your heart
it's like all the winds that have ever blown
and the glimpses can pull you apart
Can you feel it way down in your old soul
something sunk in the eons of time
something lost and so sweet in your memories
a dream that you never will find
What is it and where did it ccome from
and even worse, where did it go
it must be the places, the people and things
that you loved, in the far long ago
It's like a mist that come's over the mountains
as the moon spreads a pale yellow glow
it's peace dnd it's love and contentment
and it's there that I wish I could go
There's a deep lonely spot way down in my heart
there's and ache that can't be fulfilled
there's a place somewhre, and I wish to be there
but to find it, I never will
Sometimes in the lonely and silence
you can hear soft sigh's in the night
and it brings back a memory of long ago
when all seemed peaceful and bright
Did you ever grasp at a vision
that you saw in your own minds eye
an illusion so strong, it was like a sad song
from the long ago sweet by and by
Sometimes my mind's like the wide open sky
empty of clouds and so blue
and precious memories come spirling my way
this thing they call de-ja-vu
Sometimes I'm in a deep peaceful valley
filled up with hush to the top
with tall green mountaon's around me
where the lonely don't ever stop
Did you ever feel lost in the day light
with a hundred people near by
when a glimpse of a face, ner forgotten and loved
makes you almost break down and cry
And the lonelinessnow, it can get you
it can take you down to the ground
it can twist and pull your old heart in to
it can hurt you and keep you down
When Spring comes in warm bright confusion
and dreams seem to come through the mist
do memories come back, that you don't quite remember
of folks that you know don't exist
How grand it would be to open up the minds eye
and let old memories flow free
all those feelings that linger deep down in my soul
all those things that keep pulling at me
I almost always nearly can reach them
but sometimes they never come through
tiny whispers and soft warm shadows
and they won't come, what ever I do
Can someone take me back to that long ago time
back to the place whence I came
back to the sweet peaceful life of before
for I hear some one calling my name
So whom ever you are, in the Heaven's
in your soft warm, warm far away
can you come take the pain from this old hurting heart
for I'm feeling so lonely today
