Lyrics
True, when I drifted off to sleep that night
You were not the last thing on my mind
Your easy smile, so awfully kind
Often taken for granted
The way I count on the air or the sky
True, I'd been caught up in my plans of late
You were full of gladness for me too
Urging me forward toward the new
Voicing calm reassurance
That great good fortune would not pass me by
All I desired so much
Seems pale, lost and far away
Surrounded by each humble thing you used to touch
My sense of purpose drowns in the deep silence
Life comes calling still
And I busy myself
Feel I am ready to heal
Then, ragged pain
Starts again, twice as strong
I'd ask to bear a little more
If it meant the pain was spent
Would fade away, then cease
Leaving me freedom to seek and find some peace
True, you would say
"There are times when the choice is hard to make
Try to do the decent thing
Live, if you can, honestly"
Now, please hear me promise you
Promise I'll try with all my heart
And as I do, I will be glad, I will be grateful
That everything you told me was true
