I’M FOOLING MYSELF

 

The fact that I love you – no surprise,

But this heart sobs and cries –

I sit alone and wait for your call,

But they say, “pride goth before the fall!”

I look out my window hoping you’ll drive by,

But I’m fooling myself and I don’t know why!

So sad, my day is turning into night,

And I know you are nowhere in sight –

Am I just telling myself a lie?

As I watch the morning dew dry . . .

In this sadness it’s hard to take breath,

This must be harder than death!

The fact that I love you – no surprise,

But this heart still sobs and cries!
