moonshine fish

Enshrouded in the snowfall
tiny shards of memory
Softly dancing all around us
Your scent enveloped me

I know the things you said to me then were true
And though I couldn't say it aloud, I loved you...

But now that's gone and I can't say
What I did to drive you away
I close my eyes, remembering
What your hand felt like on mine
While we placed lights up 'round our room

It lingers in my dreams
Your fleeting melody
When the snow fell gently upon us
And you held out your coat for me
And though you said
you hated to sing Christmas songs
When I started to sing
you hummed along

But now that's gone and I can't say
What I did to drive you away
I close my eyes, remembering
A snow storm spent
Wrapped securely in your arms

Watching as the sunset fades to black
The city's twinkling lights come up
Tinsel-tipped and sparkling
But you're not here to see....

But now that's gone and I can't say
What I did to drive you away
I close my eyes, trying to forget
The way your face looked when
I let your hand slip away...
