Pool of Tears

(Alt: How Will I Breathe)

All of my life
I have known this day'd arrive
Now it's here it hurts so much
You meant the world to me

And this Pool of Tears down by my feet
It soaks the earth you lie beneath
How can I live?
How will I breathe?
How will I breathe?

Every day of my life
You would make it all worthwhile
But now you're gone I've lost my heart
The world's too big for me

Chorus

Right then I felt you here
But wait I see a light
You are reaching out to touch me from the
Other side, you have reached your home
I can breathe again, I can reach you,
I will find you

This Pool of Tears down by my feet
Still soaks the earth you lie beneath

This Pool of Tears down by my feet
It soaks the earth you lie beneath

How can I live?
How will I breathe?
How will I breathe?

The saddest day of your life is when you lose someone very, very close to you. Find them again on the other side and you'll be able to breathe again. The sun will slowly dry away your tears.

Special thanks: Song arranged by Igor Dvorkin who took my original guitar, bass and vocal recorded parts ("original" recording) and then added his own magic. I then mangled it a bit further by reworking some of the tune and words.
