EVERY JUNE THE ROSES BLOOMS

It is Spring where all the lilacs blossom
and in June all the roses bloom,
but my heart feels the gloom-
Without you here with me.

Now my heart is shattered
leaving me feeling so battered,
but does it now really matter?

So, I walk down that lonely road,
thinking about all the things we could have done,
but it wasn't long those memories
started rushing in.

Some of those memories made me smile
and some weren't so sweet
but at least you heard with me.

Every evening as the winter winds blow
I would sit by the firelight and watch it glow,
while my tears just flowed.

I remember how I would hold you close
to keep you safe from what this life gave,
you were younger way back then.

Then you grew up-
and soon my nightmare begins-
your eyes would tell me the story of your pain.

The pains I could never take away,
what this old life gave.
Now, you are in the grave.
