Carved In Stone

I never thought that I would see
everything it would mean to me
when I would grieve over someone so dear.
But you're among the angels now,
and I can’t even think of how
I'll ever get by without you here.

Love's everlasting, so I'm told,
but you're gone and my heart's gone cold.
I can’t possibly feel your love again.
We had something special to save,
but fate took all that away.
I wish this horrible nightmare would end.

I look to the sky
as I start to cry,
and I feel the rain sting my face.
I beg the Lord, "Please!
Take away my pain!"
I'd give it all just to take your place.

Is there anything left to do?
I feel frozen, I can't move.
All I want is to be here, by your side.
Breathtaking was the love we made;
now I don't know if I can take
me, without you, here for another night.

Am I dreaming, or still alive?
Is this truth, or is it all lies?
Again, I torture myself, ‘cause you’re gone.
Now the rain falls painful on me.
Lightning bellows and I can see
confirmation of my fears carved in stone.

Ever since you died,
all I’ve done is cry,
and feel bitter rain sting my face.
I drop to my knees,
shout at the Lord, "Please!
Would it be so wrong to take her place?!"

Every night I weep for you
while I fall asleep without you,
because your life was whisked away by sin.
And even though it may be wrong,
I won’t let it be all too long
‘Till I am forever with you again.
