Tonight my heart is aching
The emptiness it feels
When the sun is shining
It won’t seem real
I look out in the moonlit night
And wish upon a star
Digging for my memories
In a cookie jar
The breeze it gently whispers
In my ear
The secrets that I’ll never know
I’ll only fear
Lonely hearts are breaking
Each minute gone
They sing them on the radio
In lonely songs
Though holes they fill my heart
With spots of emptiness
The pieces that surround them
Will ease the stress
The aching that I feel tonight
Soon will leave
Just like the tears I’ll wipe away
On my jacket sleeve
The loneliness that I now feel
Will wander on its way
The aching that is deep inside
Will flee when night comes day
