The night is long and dark and cold 

But I can’t sleep for dreaming 

Of all the things I left behind

And all the things I’m leaving

I wonder if there’ll ever be 

A cessation of this feeling 

A moment when I can forget 

And start a new beginning

But every time I close my eyes 

I see your face before me 

And every time I try to rise 

I feel your arms around me

I know I have to let you go 

But I don’t know how to do it 

I know I have to face the truth 

But I don’t want to admit it

So I lie awake and count the stars 

And hope for some salvation 

A sign that tells me what to do 

Or grants me some cessation
