Danny Oliver - Acceptance Lyrics

I remember that April day
The breeze was kind of cold
And the sky was bluish gray
Grass was turning green
And the flowers were in bloom
But all that I could feel
Was an everlasting gloom
Tears were flooding down like torrential rain
Years will start to pass but never ease the pain

Now the flowers that lined your grave
Fill the gardens in my head
And foggy memories of better days
Make me yearn for things you said

Many years have now gone by
Lost every ounce of hope
And forgotten how to cry
A faded picture on my bedroom wall
What day that we last spoke
I still cannot recall
Tears are flowing down like rivers to a lake
Emptiness is breached
Now watch the levee break

Now the flowers that lined your grave
Fill the gardens in my head
And foggy memories of better days
Make me yearn for things you said
Now the body that housed your soul
Has been given back to earth
Hard acceptance that you are gone
Makes us understand your worth

Falling into nothingness I lay and watch the sun
Accepting this as punishment for what is left to come
Falling into nothingness I lay and watch the sun
Accepting this as punishment for everything Ive done
