I Count the Days

Kristan Shepherd 1959 (Los Angeless)



The days I've counted since we've met
have gone by way to fast
The times we spend so far apart
will come to end at last
It seems like only yesterday
our lives were all but shattered
Now finding my way back to you
is all that really matters
My heart it bleeds in pain because
this love I give is true
So now I count the days again
until I'm back with you.
