[ Featuring Deb Conrad ]
The nights are always hardest
As she lies awake alone
She wants to hold him close to her
Fully knowing that he's gone
She remembers when he passed away
Nearly seven years before
But she longs to see him in her dreams
Though it makes her miss him more
Its the wound that never heals
It's the hole that's in her heart
It's the sadness that she grieves
It's the love that never leaves
It's the wound that never heals
There are tears and laughs of memories
As he thinks about his child
How she never could sit still for long
And she was always kind of wild
How he wished he'd had her longer
Still he treasures what he had
And the image burns his heart again
Strangely thankful for the pain
Its the wound that never heals
It's the hole that's in his heart
It's the sadness that he grieves
It's the love that never leaves
It's the wound that never heals
How I long to end their heartache
And I wonder what to say
How can I make things better
Can I take their pain away
Then a voice breaks through the quiet
And he makes it clear to me
If we want to let love in
We have vulnerability
We get wounds that never heal
We get holes in our heart
We have sadness and we grieve
But we have love that never leaves
We get wounds that never heal
The aching pain reminds them
Of a life they won't forget
They'll be together one day
And it gives them hope and faith
When we'll celebrate our wounds at last
With the one who makes us whole
And we join our hearts in love as one
When we finally are home
No more wounds that never heal
No more holes in our heart
The end of sadness that we grieve
And the love will never leave
No more wounds that never heal
