The Ache of Your Absence

[Short Instrumental Intro] [Verse] In the quiet of the mornin' As the sun is slowly risin' Shadows on these empty walls old memories keep surprisin' I see your face in photographs Hear your laughter in my dreams But it's the emptiness that lingers the silence in this room screams [Chorus] Oh, I miss you, my love, like the wild wind moanin' (wild wind moanin') In this broken heart, your spirit still resides (still resides) Through the tears and the laughter, I'll keep pressin' on (keep pressin' on) But the ache of your absence will never subside (never subside) [Verse 2] I hold onto your memories they're treasures I can't let go But the pain is still a burden Crushin' this broken soul In the silence of the night as I start towards bed I can't quit thinkin' of you the memories in my head [Bridge] But I pull back the covers as I lay me down to sleep And to the good Lord I pray these memories I'll keep [Chorus] Oh, I miss you, my love, like the wild wind moanin' (wild wind moanin') In this broken heart, your spirit still resides (still resides) Through the tears and the laughter, I'll keep pressin' on (keep pressin' on) But the ache of your absence will never subside (never subside) [Melodic Interlude] But the ache of your absence will never subside [End] [Chorus] Oh, I miss you, my love, like the wild wind moanin' (wild wind moanin') In this broken heart, your spirit still resides (still resides) Through the tears and the laughter, I'll keep pressin' on (keep pressin' on) But the ache of your absence will never subside (never subside) [Melodic Interlude] But the ache of your absence will never subside [End] [End]
