Daylight is leaving
And the night is closing in
In just a few hours
The sleeplessness begins again

My head feels thick
And I'm unable to think
I guess I'll wait 'til tomorrow
And see what it brings

I have a little hope left
And I guess that's someplace to start
But my memory's full
Of a deep blue heart

My fun-loving sense of humor
Is nowhere to be found
I stare into my own eyes
With tears flowing down

I'd sing out a song
But I've forgotten the tune
And the words now escape me
But I think it's about you

My vision now is way out in the dark
With just a little sight left
Of a deep blue heart

I see us both flying
In the clear blue sky
Floating out on the ocean
With the sun in our eyes

Caught in a moment
Just me and you
In complete honesty
Where everything is true

That's what I wanted to believe
Right from the start
Just a little place for myself
In a deep blue heart

Carve out a place for myself
In your deep blue heart
