Death is that state in which one exists only in the memory and heart of others, which is why there is not an end.


I stand here all alone
And look up at the sky.
I see a star shining bright
And I wonder why.
Why did you have to go away?

You left me here, so forlorn
And the ones you love - sadly weep.
We don't know how to say good-bye
Or chase the nightmares from our sleep.
Why did you have to go away?

Gazing up into the lonely night
I remember our last kiss.
Your lips were soft and our bodies trembled
And now your sweet touch I will always miss.
Why did you have to go away?

I go to bed and I get up
I walk, I talk, I feed.
I see the world keep moving on
While my heart continues to bleed!
Why did you have to go away?

So many words left unsaid
Now unsaid they will have to stay!
You left behind a legacy
And for us to fulfill it - is what I pray.
Why did you have to go away?

Wherever you are, wherever you may be
Reach out and find me true.
Reach out, reach out, thru time and space
And know I am reaching for you.
Why did you have to go away?

When I lost you, I lost the best of me
My sunshine, my joy, my desire!
You gave meaning to this long life of mine
Our love was like a fire.
Why did you have to go away?

Now my life seems so uncertain
And happiness once hoped for has perished.
All I see in front of me are endless lonesome days
For with you gone - I am left with memories forever cherished.
Why did you have to go away?

Then late one night, in deep despair
I slept the sleep of the dead.
And walking thru my dreams you came
And to your treasured form I said.
Why did you have to go away?

The words you spoke, I hear them still
I keep them close to my heart.
You gave back my hopes, my dreams
And reassurance that soon we would no longer be apart.

I know it was more than just a dream
Though I know neither how nor when.
But I believed when you said to me
We will be together again.

You said love would bring you back to me
Back here with all of us that you love.
And I believe your words are true
As true as the heavens above!

The End
