lyrics

I play this song to remind me
Of all the years I’ve spent with you
There was hurt and heartache
But there was joy in there too

And I don’t want to go too far alone
Cause’ times are hard and the way is long
With scattered pieces of the past around
This little heart, it just might break
It just might break

A quiet path lies out before me
A new road to take
A touch of fear, hope and longing
A chance to make my great escape

And I don’t want to go too far alone
Cause’ times are hard and the way is long
With scattered pieces of the past around
This little heart, it just might break
It just might break

Like fallen sand through my fingers
The days go by and still
The ones with you I remember
Morning sun and the autumn dew

And I don’t want to go too far alone
Cause’ times are hard and the way is long
With scattered pieces of the past around
This little heart, it just might break
It just might break

Now all the birds are leaving
Seeking sun on farther shores
Nights bleed into daytime
People shuttin’ their windows and closing doors

And I don’t want to go too far alone
Cause’ times are hard and the way is long
With scattered pieces of the past around
This little heart, it just might break
It just might break
