A true story.. written about some girl whom I can't even remember her name...

A Minor Key
(c) 1979 Donald R. Hildenbrand

Tears are falling, deep inside.
A fire's raging, running wild.
The sunlight's gone, will never be.
No wonder he's playing in a minor key.

Touching the pillow where he once lay his head,
He lays his weary body down on the bed.
Dreaming of memories that never were,
And the only thing he can think of is her.

And she steals into his memory like the ghost of distant pain,
And he relives the hurting, and it drives his mind insane.
And he wonders if his empty life will ever be the same,
As he plays along in a minor key to the melody of her name.

Tears are falling, deep inside.
The pain is raging, and he wants to run and hide
From the memories of what will never be.
No wonder he's still playing in a minor key.
