The Edge of Heartbreak

Sometimes when I'm on my own

My bed too cold for one alone

I try to lose myself in dreams

But you're not here so I can't sleep

I suffer when the night is long

My heart cries out for yours is gone

You take me to the edge of heartbreak

Then I turn and there you are

Sometimes near and yet so far

You touch my hair, you pull me close

We're cheek to cheek and nose to nose

Your velvet eyes so dark and deep

You're like an angel when you sleep

You take me to the edge of heartbreak

Maybe tears are in my eyes

But I'm not feeling sad

Emotions that you make me feel

A love so beautiful and real

You've had the hurt, you've had the pain

I pray you don't feel those again

It's somewhere deep within your mind

Another place, another time

And now I have an ache for you

How long it takes, I'll wait for you

You take me to the edge of heartbreak

And in those early hours I'm missing you

My lips are dead when I'm not kissing you

And in the morning light I'm wanting you

And by the sunrise I'll belong to you

I hope I will

Soon your eyes will open then

This aching heart will beat again

You are the warmth you are the light

With you I'll never fear the night

Love is fragile I find

Sleep on sweetly, love of mine

You take me to the edge of heartbreak
