Soul Mates Gaze

Here we are again, standing alone waiting to be whole

Yet another pitfall has fallen in the way of our goal

I feel like Charley racing Algernon through a maddening maze

But one day soon we’ll open our eyes to our soul mates gaze

Plans of grandeur and extravaganza’s cast aside

We’ve only dreams of being by each other’s side

But every time we try, it seems that old familiar tune plays

Along comes something to keep us from our soul mates gaze

I see you when I close my eyes

Tears falling remembering goodbyes

I feel you when I close my eyes

Hug a pillow shed a tear where he lies

I need you when I close my eyes

Please God soon a lonely man cries

Let me open my eyes to my soul mates gaze
