One Desire (PDF)

I haunt this house at night

Long after you have gone to sleep,

And I can hear you softly breathing in the dark.

Staring at the world outside,

I pray the Lord your soul to keep,

And I pray that he will give me back your heart.

You know I have this one desire,

And that is to feel the fire

Back in our love again.

From the shadows echoed voices

Are playing scenes out of the past—

All the good and bad time, promises and threats.

Here and there the whispers . . .

Oh, they're saying, "Love will always last . . ."

But those are words a wounded heart so soon forgets.

You know I have this one desire,

And that is to feel the fire

Back in our love again.

When and why it left us . . .

Baby, I just can't remember.

Still I can't forget the fire

When I feel the coolness of these embers.

You know I have this one desire,

And that is to feel the fire

Back in our love again.
