lyrics

Everything's silent, everything's gray
The colors don't shine like they did in the day
When we were together, but now you are gone
And the silence is taking the place of my song.

It's hard, oh it's hard when lovers must part
And one ends up breaking the other one's heart
The loneliest dove that mourns in the pine
Is never so lonesome as I feel tonight.

I talk to the stars, the stars don’t reply
I look for the answers, the questions still lie
In the strange empty places that love used to fill
I try to forget you but I love you still..

It's hard, oh it's hard when lovers must part
And one ends up breaking the other one's heart.
