Two Words Start Isolation.

I lay silently in a darkened room
For the gift of a ring I somehow entered this tomb
The kids are grown now, we're always home
I’m laying here on our bed and I’m all alone
I wish my face could still make you smile
You haven’t looked at me that way for the longest while
I daydream about you till the sun starts to rise
You never look over here for the tears in my eyes
You never change anymore when I’m in the room
You lock the door and say, don’t come back too soon
If I praise your beauty and say I like your dress
You bite my head off, who am I trying to impress
I wish my face could still make you smile
You haven’t looked at me that way for the longest while
I daydream about you till the sun starts to rise
You never look over here for the tears in my eyes
I can remember the warm feeling of your soft skin
The way you used to look at me whenever I came in
We would laugh and dance till our legs got sore
Now we step on each other’s toes, going through the door
I wish my face could still make you smile
You haven’t looked at me that way for the longest while
I daydream about you till the sun starts to rise
You never look over here to see the tears in my eyes
I watch you every day and all the things you do
I miss you my darling, you know I’m still so much in love you
You say there is no romance we know each other to well
Listen to my heart it has a story for you, I've tried to tell
