Lyrics

  1. Love is gone, but each new dawn
    Awakens an old memory
    Love has gone, but time goes on
    To keep on reminding me

Chorus
Twenty-four hours a day
Wearing my heart away
Slowly the moments go creeping
While I spend them alone
Hours that were meant for sleeping
Wasted and spent just weeping
Twenty four hours drag by
Twenty four more draw nigh
What do I do in between time?
What can I do in the mean time?
Thinking of you twenty four hours a day

  1. Dreams untold, the nights unfold
    The moments that I spent with you
    One by one until they’re done
    I live them the long day through
