I take a walk through a darkened forest
Where is the light to shine a way
Where is the sun to warm this day
When she was here
I never noticed, all the beauty there is around me
I never noticed the beauty that is the dark
Here, no one can see the tears as I cry
For there is no one to walk by
As I walk in this darkened forest
I wonder
Where she is
Am I to finish this cry
Or am I to join the sky
For love again has passed me by
