Favorite Quote:
I have my own particular sorrows, loves, delights; and you have yours. But sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, love, belong to all of us, in all times and in all places. Music is the only means whereby we feel these emotions in their universality. ~H.A. Overstreet

There's a light in my window
It shines for you
Through the cold and the darkness
It's holding through
And they say it'll burn out
Before we say "I do"
Yet I light it each cold night

And it shines for you
It shines for you
It shines for you

There's a space in my tender heart
Reserved for you
Even when we were torn apart
I remained true
Do you have intentions of coming back?
Or do you have a clue
Of that light in my window?

For it shines for you
It shines for you
It shines for you
Keep Holding through
