It was a long time ago now, that you left me
I recall a warm summer breeze
As I sat on your bed, stroking your head
As you looked into me
Your beautiful face in age still such grace
I held your hand tight, that warm summer night
Until you said it was time to leave
You said I love you for the very last time
With your very last breath
You smiled and left
I have been here waiting such a long time, until I see you again
In another place, I will touch your face
And feel your kiss once again
Sometimes I smell your perfume
Sometimes I hear you call
No one believes me, this silly old fool
Our children are grown now, with children of their own
Nothing here but memories that always linger on
I talk to you every night my love
My hand where your warmth used to be
On the cold side of the bed, here next to me
