Lyrics to this fucking amazing song

Numb and Broken, Here I stand alone
Wondering what were the last words I said to you
Hoping, praying that I'll find a way to turn back time, can I turn back time

What would I give to behold
the smile, the face of love
You never left me, the rising sun will always speak your name

Numb and Broken,here I stand alone
Wondering what were the last words I said to you
It won't be long we'll meet again

What would I give to behold
the smile, the face of love
You never left me, the rising sun will always speak your name

It won't be long we'll meet again, your memory is never passing
It won't be long we'll meet again, my love for you is ever lasting

I mourn for those who never knew you

It won't be long we'll meet again, your memory is never passing
It won't be long we'll meet again, my love for you is ever lasting
