How Far Will You Go Tonight? This time, leaving from here I watched you go into the distance I needed power for this hour To stop the pain piecing like an arrow I wish you did not have to go And leave reflections in a trance when you say goodbye; how far will you go? Before the tears start to flow I really want to know where you are going tonight. In another a light, just as bright How far will you go? Do you think its safe? How far will you go? And never let go Of this life, on this road, trying to escape Do you know, I have been far away too In the miles, separate by that same place Tonight, hope, brings me closer to your face. Just one wish, only a breath is enough To keep believing, never stop dreaming My hearts is just the way you left Keep holding on, to the purpose for living You are the reason, for a new season I can wait; it will never be too late Until we make up, just for breaking up. How far will you go, and never let go How far will you go I really want to know? How far will you go, and never let go Of the dreams you hold, they are more than gold How afar will you go, before you know? The reason for leaving, was in your soul Keep believing, because I am not leaving All of my heaven for this crazy world By Gerry Legister Recent Poem of the Day Posts
