On Night Like This

Soraya


no matter what anyone says time doesn't pull 
you through 
cause there are nights when i still cry when i 
think of you 
sometimes it swallows me this space i feel 
inside 
but i think of how strong you were and it 
helps me to get by 
and all the times when you would come to 
me in my dreams 
i thought i was losing my mind, but it's the 
sanest i've ever been 
and on those days when life seems too much 
i hear your voice and i'm comforted by your 
touch 
on nights like this 
i know that you're still here with me 
on nights like this 
i know you're in a better place 
on nights like this i pray 
i may be with you again someday 
on nights like this i pray 
that i may be worthy someday 
there's the anger that blocked out the light 
there's the doubts that held me captive night 
after night 
the endless hours i spent asking why 
when there's so many evil people, it just 
doesn't seem right 
on nights like this 
i know that you're still here with me 
on nights like this 
i know you're in a better place 
on nights like this i pray 
i may be with you again someday 
on nights like this i pray 
that i may be worthy someday 
and i remember the night when i held you in 
my arms 
trying to give you the strength, the will to 
hold on 
and you looked in my eyes and said "baby be 
strong 
i don't want to leave you but it's time for me 
to go" 
and at that moment, as your hand slipped out 
of mine 
a tear rolled down as you closed your eyes for 
the last time 
and all the pain that had been written on 
your face 
suddenly disappeared and by a smile it was 
replaced 
on nights like this 
i know that you're still here with me 
on nights like this 
i know you're in a better place 
on nights like this i pray 
i may be with you again someday 
on nights like this i pray 
that i may be worthy someday
