Love lasts longer than life. |
Right Here Beside You Staring at the shadows in the distance I see painfully familiar faces From behind the cold gray stones the morning fog reveals their embraces A blanket of roses begin their descent as her eyes give birth to a parade of tears I long to touch her face and whisper my name, just once to calm her fears Though I may not, my love for her will always remain I wish I could embrace her warmth and remove her pain For such a woman, a gift from God to my life I will always be so grateful to have had for my wife I am so sorry my love for leaving you here in this world alone To return to five rooms full of memories in what was once our home I hear your weeping sobs at night as you cry out my name This empty house contains my soul yet I know it's not the same I'm here beside you wishing I could hold your hand As you lie alone and stare at our picture on the nightstand I will not leave you to enter the light Until this pain has lifted and your heart takes flight Be not afraid my love to continue your journey through life Do not hide your heart, for I will be here when you enter the light Until you are safe and find your beautiful smile once again By your side I'll stay and guard you until your new life begins |
