Fall is in the air
The cold is biting my skin
The day is dark
Sun’s bright light is dimmed
And I know it is just around the corner
When I will be taken back
Back to that time of my life
To that knock on the door
Telling me
Oh, telling me
So cruelly
That my loved one
Is no more
Forever I will believe
Always will I know
That I have placed my all
In thy caring hand
My hope is in thy
Eternal land
Lady in black
Lady divine
You look amazing tonight
Lady be mine!
You over there!
Looking so grand
Yes, I will be yours tonight
Here is my hand!
Kiss me awhile
Gentle and deep
Is this really happening –
Am I asleep?
We are awake!
Joyful, sheer bliss
Hands, so soft, touching my face
Share a sweet kiss!
Now to go home
Time to confess—
You were beautiful tonight
Such a nice dress!
I met you when you were newly born
Your face touched my heart, and you were mine
Companions we have always been
And I miss you now so terribly
I wish you were here to be with me
I will never forget your love shared
So unconditionally
You were mine, and my heart was yours
Wherever you may be, my dear beloved one
I’ll hold your essence right here
In my memory
He caught my eye
He said hello
He smiled at me
He smiled at me
My knees are weak
My tummy’s flipped
I feel alive
He smiled at me
There is no magic
In this world
But for this feeling
He smiled at me
Without you I would be a shadow
Of the help I could extend to you
Your love lifts me to that higher place
Of purpose and security
Join me on my journey
As we travel into the future
From here
We sit in silence
Our beating hearts
Keeping us company
And as we watch the stars
Side by side
There is nothing
In this world
But a starry night
And you and me
The birds in the sky
Are free to fly
And as they soar
Away from me
Your presence
Keeps me company
I feel my heart’s deep need
From thy love I thirst to feed
I kneel before thy throne of grace
Lifting my eyes to see thy face
The radio dial is turned
And the notes of music past
Fills the quiet air
Taking me back to that time
When you and I
You and I
You and l
Were finding our way
Feeling our way
Loving our way
And I wondered
Would you and I?
Would we be?
And I hear those notes
Soulful, stirring, moving me
To those times
Of you and I
