Eine Kline

You know it fills my heart with happiness to have met and to have lived with you
And yet as time goes on and older we grow it feels a little sad too
Now even though it hurts I’ll hold these happy memories close
And walk toward the day you leave my side and go somewhere I don’t know

And if the only thing I'm here to do is to take the place of someone else
Than I would rather have been born as a pebble living life all by myself
Cause then we’d understand each other’s words and feelings too
And just maybe then the me I am wouldn’t ever have known you

All I ever wanted is to pour out all my thoughts and to let you know just how I feel
Even so I go and lie telling you that every thought I have is secret
I don’t earn your praises all I ever am is cowardly
I don’t know why you stay here by my side
So why? Oh why? Oh why?

Even though the pain never ends and pulls me apart you smile there beside me
All I ever wanted to do was reach out to you and say that I was happy
And at once the world seems to blur and melt all away as I can feel the tears now
These miracles flooding me won’t ever make it leave
Because I can still hear your voice calling out to me

And if you’re going to go and lose your way and be all alone without a light
Then I will walk with you through pain and the doubt and stay here right by your side
Pretending it’s okay we laugh and smile another day
We keep going on through tragedy as it starts again the same

Even with prayers, and with vows that I make I'm haunted by these horrid dreams
Thinking that someday all the small pains you face
And fear will take you far away from me
All I am is useless though you put all of your trust in me
I can’t even protect what’s by my side
So why? Oh why? Oh why?

Please I pray for all of the nights I can’t make it through and drown away in guilty pain
There will be just as many times we laugh hand in hand and cherish every new day
'Cause with you the world seems alive and colored and bright now even if I close my eyes
For someone so precious oh what ever could I do?
Hey is it alright if I keep calling out to you?

When at first I was born into this world we’re living in
I had screamed and cried aloud to vanish and disappear
Ever since those dreadful days I always have been searching
For the one I’d someday meet
You’re the person that I need

Even though the pain never ends and pulls me apart you smile there beside me
All I ever wanted to do was reach out to you and say that I was happy
And at once the world seems to blur and melt all away as I can feel the tears now
These miracles flooding me won’t ever make it change
Because I can still hear your voice calling all the same
Hey is it alright if I keep calling out your name?
