All I'll Ever Know

All I’ll Ever Know

If I could have just one wish
I would wish you here with me
Yes I keep on believing
In what never comes to be

I miss your eyes
In the morning when I rise
My arms can’t find you there
This empty air held the fragrance of your hair

And my heart
My heart
Can’t seem to let you go

The days like passing footsteps
Quickly fade and disappear
But night hangs on forever
It wasn’t like that with you here

Through the night
We held each other tight
I’d wake to fine you there
And in the air the fragrance of your hair

And my heart
My heart
Still believes it’s so
But this is all I’ll ever know

It was all I lived for
All I longed for
All I hoped to be
Now what I would die for
I can only cry for
And still, my heart believes
Still believes

This is all I’ll ever know
