In the Waking Hours

Her voice beckons me in the waking hours She softly calls me to join her where She walks beneath an arbor of flowers, And I…I long expectantly to join her there. She softly calls me to join her where Separation is a quantity entirely unknown, And I…I long expectantly to join her there Where she awaits near a golden throne. Separation is a quantity entirely unknown In that place where love reigns supreme, While she awaits near a golden throne Where happiness is the prevailing theme. In that place where love reigns supreme, Pure love, not temporal, as we know here Where happiness is the prevailing theme, There is no hurt, anguish, hatred, or fear. Pure love, not temporal, as we know here, The kind of love that never fades or dies, There is no hurt, anguish, hatred, or fear No tears are shed, for no one ever cries. The kind of love that never fades or dies She walks beneath an arbor of flowers, No tears are shed, for no one ever cries Her voice beckons me in the waking hours.
