That Was The Day

Lyrics: That Was The Day

[Verse 1] We built tomorrow on whispered dreams, Certain forever was ours to keep. Reality called, cold as ice, We had no choice, we paid the price. No angry words, no blame to bear, Silent tears hanging in the air. [Pre-Chorus] The miles can steal the touch of your hand, But never the love we swore would stand. [Chorus] That was the day we said goodbye That was the day my heart died. The years rolled on, the world spun fast, But my heart stayed stuck in the past. Some loves fade fast, but ours ran deep, You're gone, but your love is mine to keep. [Verse 2] I see your face in the morning rain, I hear your laughter on every train. If I could bargain with time somehow, I'd trade forever for one more now. Every heartbeat still speaks your name, Every silence still does the same. [Bridge] If love can reach beyond goodbye, Past every star and endless sky, Then someday I'll be holding you, And every promise will come true. [Final Chorus] That was the day we said goodbye That was the day my heart died. But time nor fate could ever steal The love that made my heart feel. If forever has a place for two, I'll be waiting there for you.

  Thank you so very much, Sealine, and thank you for the tip. I really appreciate your words. I'm certain that peace will come eventually. In some ways it's like losing an arm. I really love my arm, but I will eventually get used to not having it.😊 I'm not the only one suffering. My partner is too. I hope they'll find peace also.

  Oof, our hearts go out to you, Bobbie. As the writer Jamie Anderson first penned (and many others have quoted), "Grief is love with no place to go." We wish you strength and peace with your personal stuff. ❤️‍🩹

  So beautifully written and emotional. This sounds like it comes from a personal place and if it does, I hope you are able to find peace.
