She sits so quietly at the window by the door
Wondering if she'll ever smile again
Her eyes filled with memories and her life in sad array
Unaware of the colours of the day
She dare not cry for fear her hope might disappear
But if she cared to try I know it all could be so clear

But she's living in the past
She didn't know it wouldn't last
And it's a long long lonely road
To go down

The treasured names you called each other just for fun
And as you woke she'd kiss your eyes
You killed it all when it had only just begun
What's it take to make you realise

Love isn't easy though many like think it is
You must learn to give and take
Or know what you will miss

For she's living in the past
She didn't know it wouldn't last
And it's a long long lonely road
To go do
