One Thousand Years

One thousand lonely years
Never will be long enough
To forget you

One thousand ruby sunsets
Never will be bright enough
To hide your smile

One thousand ruby sunsets
Never could be deeper than
Your dark brown eyes

One thousand lonely nights
Never will be dark enough
To hide your light

And the rain comes every night to wash away my tears
Though you have been gone these many years

Every night I dream of you
Every day I see your joy in his boyish smile

One thousand silver suns
Never can shine bright enough
To hide your smile

And the rain comes every night to soak me in my tears

Every time I think of you
Every time I look back
Every time you say you
Every time I think it’s new
Every time I think I am through
Always there is something new

Every night I dream of you
Every day I wake to find you gone again
Every day I feel the pain
When I can find no trace
Until I see you smile again
in our son’s boyish face

And when I can find no trace of you

All I have to do

Is see our son’s boyish face

And there’s your smile again
