The darkness of the night outside

is mirrored in my heart.

For you are gone and I am here

from now on we're apart.

For fifty years we shared each day,

a smile, a kiss, a touch.

And now I sit alone and lost.

I miss your eyes so much

You always loved to greet the dawn,

called me a grumpy sod.

Your smile was the dawn for me,

I sit and wait for God

Yet as I watch the sun begin

to chase the dark away,

suddenly I see your face

in rays of a new day.

You're gone, I know, but dawn goes on

and brings with it so much.

The memory of a love still strong;

your smile,

your kiss,

your touch.
