HOPING FOR BETTER DAYS

I cry myself to sleep at night 
Cos you're not by my side. 
My days are a dread to start
Cos loneliness fills the heart.

There's nothing that can ease the pain
So from the world, I refrain 
My life has no meaning without you
O God, what can I do
My heart is priced through and through.

Dark clouds, please fade away
So I can see the light again.
My only love has gone away 
I hope and pray for better days.

If I can see, just one good day
Life would be worth living again.

Where can I go from here
I feel you in the atmosphere.
In my sleep, I call out your name
I reach for you, but you're not there.

Dark clouds, please fade away
So I can see the light again.
My only love has gone away 
I hope and pray for better days

If I can see just one good day,
Life would be worth living again.
