Counting The Stars

it could be better than it is
but then it could be worse
the best laid plans fall victim
to the disaster unrehearsed
i look for absolution
from the failures i have lived
although others have forgiven me
i don't dare myself forgive

i sit here in the silence
and i take in all i've seen
misty breaths of memory
take me everywhere i've been
all of this means something
i know it must be true
'cause i don't feel regret now
if i should think of you

Counting the stars
in my mind tonight
i remember the times
when they would shine so bright
Counting my dreams
in my mind tonight
i remember sweet times
when love just felt so right...

makes me smile
