I'm lost in the dark, 
Where is the spark 
For my love? 
I'm lost in the night, 
Holding the light 
Of my love. 
The heavens opened and closed, 
As well I might have supposed, 
And I am left in disabandon, 
So far removed from all that I had planned on. 

My days have grown so lonely, 
For I have lost my one and only; 
My pride has been humbled, 
But I am his, body and soul. 

I was a mere sensation, 
My house of cards had no foundation, 
Although it has tumbled, 
I still am his, body and soul. 

What lies before me? 
The future is stormy, 
A winter that's gray and old; 
Unless there's magic 
The end will be tragic, 
And echo the tale that's been told so often. 

My life revolves about him, 
What earthly good am I without him? 
My castles have crumbled, 
But I am his, body and soul. 

What lies before me? 
The future is stormy, 
A winter that's gray and old; 
Unless there's magic 
The end will be tragic, 
And echo the tale that's been told so often. 

My life revolves about him, 
What earthly good am I without him? 
My castles have crumbled, 
But I am his, body and soul.
