silence can kill the flame

          i never saw this coming,
          that's why it's hard to believe.
          one day you say you love me,
          then you say you have to leave.
         
         we spent afternoons on the front porch,
        eating mint-chocolate chip icecream.
        laughing at each others' joke,
          trying to catch a lovers' dream.
           
       we listen to the radio
       and when you;d hear your favorite song.
      i'd smile the slightest smile,
      when you'd start to sing along
       
  (chorus)  but as season's change, and time goes on
                few things ever stay the same
                and as silence makes the teardrops fall,
                goodbye can kill the flame
            
            we spent our nights in total awe,
             saying this just can't be true.
             there's noone else on this earth,
            that loves each other like we do.

           then some how doubt filled the room,
           jealousy reared it's ugly head.
           i felt we were a million miles apart,
            but still sleepin' in a single bed

            the darkness hid the tears and sorrow
           we seldom spoke a word.
            the tenderness just seem to fade,
            silence was all we ever heard.

           and as the seasons changed and time moved on
           things just never stay the same .
           and as goodbye causes tears to fall
            silence can kill the flame.........
