Tears In The Shower

Tears In The Shower

No one sees the tears in the shower,
No one can hear them when they fall.
No one else feels my heart when its pounding,
No one, but me, and his spirit, that's all.

Driving alone, there's no one to see me
Smiling, remembering the words that you'd say.
Laughing, remembering the way you would tease me,
Crying because you're not with me today.

No way to tell or explain how I'm feeling,
I just tell everyone that I'm doing okay.
I think I am getting by not having you near me,
But then night comes along, I'm really afraid.

Sometimes I can make it, sometimes I break down,
Sometimes I can fake it, sometimes I drown,
In my own sorrow, wishing you were near,
I miss your arms 'round me, your finger to wipe my tears.

I hear your voice nightly, your body I feel,
I feel your lips kiss me, then I find it's not real.
So I cry again into my pillow, I can only pray,
Every second, every heartbeat reminds me your away.

As strong as my love for you while you were alive,
Is not as strong as the pain I feel right now, here inside.
The depth of our love, like magic year after year,
Always and forever, I'll hold right here,

In this safe little harbor, in my heart where you live,
Where you constantly remind me that I must go on
Even without you, that I must be strong,
And to smile though I'm hurting, when the night seems so long,

I know you are with me, my heart tells me so,
But Baby, I miss you holding me every night,
Why did you have to go? I love you.
