Just like my keys, misplaced so long,
Forever missing, since you've gone.
Forever missing, since you've gone.
In the quiet of the evening,
In every moment, thought, and breath,
I call your name, a whispered plea,
I hear your voice in echoes past,
To seek you in the darkest night.
That I don't need you, my dear friend,
Oh, my love, where have you gone?
I've lost my way, I can't pretend,
A love that echoes through my song,
when shadows start to play,
I see your smile in photographs,
My heart is aching, ever choosing,
Your gentle touch, your warm embrace,
A love that echoes through my song,
But like my keys, you've slipped away,
In dreams, you're here, but cannot stay.
I search for you in every room,
I'm searching for the love I left.
But silence is my company.
My glasses lost, my heart now blind,
For all I've lost, through all my tears,
for the love that slipped away.
I find myself still searching
Oh, my darling, I keep losing,
Without your hand for me to hold,
But you're a ghost, an empty space.
In memories, I try to find,
In every corner, through the gloom.
All the things that once felt right,
The days are long, the nights so cold,
So I'll keep searching, through the years,
