I Watched As You Came

 I watched as you came towards me,
In the darkend room I stare,
You walk at your own speed,
But I know you that you aren't here.
I reach out my hand to touch you,
But you seem to fade away,
I start to cry as I wonder,
Why you didn't want to stay.

Was there something you had hidden,
Something you just forgot to say,
Did you think you'd make it easier,
If you quietly slipped away.
Your birthday it is coming,
We have nothing to celebrate,
I bet you're having a party,
With those behind Heaven's gate.

This will be a Christmas,
Like none you've had before,
With those who've gone before you,
All those you do adore.
But we'll have you in our heart Bernie,
And we'll wish that you were here,
Because we truly miss you brother,
And will year after year.

Then I opened up my eyes,
Still feeling you were here with me,
I know this was just a dream,
 I'm just not willing to set you free.
You are in my every thought,
 I sign cards and wrap gifts for the family,
Your's just seem to sit aside with tears,
Cause you're not here with me.
