Late this night she waits alone

Late this night she waits alone 
she tries to forget the truth.
The pain is intense her heart is so sore and bruised
Wishing that the sadness had not come for its claim so soon.
One life is so short so many things left to say and do.
Crying softly for the one who cannot return
Through the rain she sees a face 
he’s laughing in happy play.
The face of a child, 
the child on a sunny day

Now and then I think of when
His teeth were so small and white
He laughed when he heard, the sounds in the distant night
Later on his smile was gone
His lips spoke of silent things
The least he could do was more than his life could bring
Oh what a shame what a terrible shame
To be lost and found below the ground
Beneath every child that plays
His life was so short
It's hard to believe today

Walking alone she's thinking
How many days have passed
Since her life's been broken
Since her faith has fallen
