千言万语 (A Thousand Words)

 

00:34

Don’t know how love just gone away

Sorrows now fills my empty day

Each day I bend my knees and pray

Lord, take this loneliness away

00:57

Remember the things, to me you say

“Forever in my heart you’ll stay”

A thousand words, and ten thousand more

Like the clouds, we shared our love

01:22

Can’t say how love just went away

Loneliness now fills my everyday day

Each day I bend my knees to pray

Please take the loneliness away.

Please take the loneliness away.
