How Many Times

How many years have you been tugging at my heart

Then you were gone

I thought forever gone


All at once you were back in my life

Here you are

Here we are


Life is never easy and so hard to understand

All the mixed emotions and the need to lend a helping hand


How many songs have I heard throughout the years

They reminded me of all the laughter and all the tears

How many times have I thought you could be near

I had no idea

I had no idea


How many times have you come to me in my dreams

Reminding me of the way things used to be

How many voices have almost sounded like you

How many faces

So many places
