I thought that I had seen it all
I thought that I would never find
A love again
pain and hurt was my lot

To keep getting hurt
to get up and go again
just to find the pain
start again

hard to go on I told myself
why bother I said
close it all down
shut it off finish

this is it the race is over
you lost
ha ha said the crowd
a single pair of hands clapped

I looked around
hard to see in this fading light
the sound grew louder
a single pair of hands clapping

breaking through the pain
shattering the darkness
I looked around
and there behind me

I saw my Dianna
she approached out of the darkness
to take my hand and bring me
to the finish line

I felt such warmth
for this special lady
that showed such compassion
that understood the pain
