THE LONG NIGHT

THE LONG NIGHT is over
I wiped the tears from my eyes
It's time to live and breathe again
As I came to realize
The sun came shining through my window
A new day has dawned
It's time to live and breathe again
It's time to get beyond
She wouldn't want me to be mournful
Or to think of her with tears
Be swallowed up in sorrow
Or pine away for years
THE LONG NIGHT is over
And there will come a day
When all sadness is behind us
And joy is on the way
It's time for some living
For some happiness, too
I'll carry you in my heart forever
I'll always think of you
