The thought of you won't fade away,
Close beside him there on his bed;
Wishing that he could hold you close,
Visions of you run through his head.

From the moment that you first touched,
He felt the true love in his heart;
A feeling of warm devotion,
No more would you be kept apart.

He'll ever cherish that first night,
You shared your love for the first time;
Knowing it was a gift from God,
Was He who made love feel so fine.

The feel of your hand softly in his,
Contentment in the smile on your face;
Remembrance of how happy you were,
In knowing you were in the right place.

He can still feel the heat of that love,
Blowing down from the mountains that day;
How neither of you at that moment,
Knew that the night would call you away.

Now most of his days spent in sorrow,
Since that sad night when you said goodbye;
Thinking of tender moments you shared,
Still bring a happy tear to his eye.

The only thing that keeps him going,
Are visions of you within his mind;
And wishing that he could simply say,
"Together my love, we'll spend all time."
