"How Many Lonely Nights"
© 2002 Brian Eggertsen, All Rights Reserved

How many lonely nights
Must I lay awake in this empty bed
Within this hollow room?
How many lonely nights
Must i face without you before I get
To the place where I'm doomed?
Every now and then I,
I begin to get a little nervose
Did I do all I could?
Between the question'a why
I can feel a strange uninvited guest
Sometimes I wish I could?

Sometimes I wish I could
Make everything start all over
And take my time to do it right
Then I would hold you much closer
At morning, noon, and suppertime
Sometimes I wish I could

How many lonely nights
Oh, can a loveless heart wander about
Before it fall apart?
How many lonely nights
Before comes the guilt, before comes the doubt
And the true missing start?
Some tv commercials
Describes the way that I feel about you
Within 30 seconds?
Moments they are special
And moments without you makes me feel blue
It's something so hard to mend?

Sometimes I wish I could
Make everything start all over
And take my time to do it right
Then I would hold you much closer
At morning, noon, and suppertime
Sometimes I wish I could

How many lonely night's
Waiting for me in the rest of my life?
How many several times
Do I get to let true love deep inside?

How many lonely nights?

Brian, you've written something which is so sad. Sometimes you won't learn to cherish someone, until you've lost him/her. This is a lesson we all must learn. I just hope everything will work out for you.

This was a great piece. It had a nice flow to it and a lot of emotion. I enjoyed it very much.

Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby
