AUGUST IN BETHANY

with the sounds of the ocean crashing 7:30 friday
evening everything comes tumbling down i choke
back each tear that bleeds i'd rather rest forever in
your arms i'd rather stay here than go but i know
that i should leave as i sit here helpless don't go
you said you wouldn't you said you couldn't i think
of our time together is it fading am i dreaming
everything you said lives on i cherish our memories
i want to kiss your tears away tonight it's hard to
give up the one you never thought you'd leave don't
go your eyes see through my soul don't go you say
as i walk out the door.
