Once you were my lover & once my very best friend . . .
on this journey my chosen companion . . .
and once we vowed to share in the nurturing of our love
from season to season . . . guided from above . . .
And once you were my hearth & home . . .
sweet shelter from the storm
loving soulmate, spiritual friend . . .
but our path that we had known
had to come to an end, my friend . . .
Chorus:
For the way of the heart is hard & steep . . .
not for those afraid to take the leap into the deep,
allowing the storm through the unknown
on this long night’s journey home . . .
Through the slow passage of time I mourn . . .
heart aching & forlorn
wishin’ that we weren’t torn . . .
And now I know that you weren’t strong
you needed to remain safe all along . . .
but oh our love could’ve become a most beautiful song . . .
CHORUS
For the way of the heart is hard & steep . . .
not for those afraid to take the leap into the deep,
allowing the storm through the unknown
on this long night’s journey home . . .
Now I lay me down to sleep . . .
I pray thee Lord my soul to keep . . .
on this journey my chosen companion . . .
and once we vowed to share in the nurturing of our love
from season to season . . . guided from above . . .
And once you were my hearth & home . . .
sweet shelter from the storm
loving soulmate, spiritual friend . . .
but our path that we had known
had to come to an end, my friend . . .
Chorus:
For the way of the heart is hard & steep . . .
not for those afraid to take the leap into the deep,
allowing the storm through the unknown
on this long night’s journey home . . .
Through the slow passage of time I mourn . . .
heart aching & forlorn
wishin’ that we weren’t torn . . .
And now I know that you weren’t strong
you needed to remain safe all along . . .
but oh our love could’ve become a most beautiful song . . .
CHORUS
For the way of the heart is hard & steep . . .
not for those afraid to take the leap into the deep,
allowing the storm through the unknown

Now I lay me down to sleep . . .
I pray thee Lord my soul to keep . . .
