The Prize


The hours turn to days
Without you by my side
I need to have you near me
My heart cannot abide

Whenever you are with me
My passion makes me blind
I feel that you’re the special one
I’ve searched so hard to find

Each time that I am with you
The fireworks explode
Nothing bad can phase me
You lighten up my load

Together I’m a person
Instead of just a shell
With you I see the Heavens
Alone I dwell in Hell

My life has been a thunderstorm
Rainbows fill your glance
The sun has finally come my way
Since you gave me a chance

Sunshine now engulfs my soul
I have no time to frown
Once I pick a diamond up
I never put it down
