As I lay down in my beed every night I only long to hold her so tight My single wish is to have her near Because my loneliness has only led to fear Now that she's gone I will only dream About a love we had, and now it seems She was called above by someone I won't know Until I'm called upon to leave life's flow To toss and turn seems cruel, the pain My heart feels will always be the same To try and find someone new is only hope Never can a being take her place, I know A wonder to me, she never failed in life At doing what she could to be my wife So heartbreak, tears, and sleepless nights for me She can only return from deep in my memory
Reason for writing:
As a poet and songwriter, I put myself in a situation as if I had losdt my wife, and how would I feel about that happening. This was first written in 1971,, but since then we have added 25 more years of marriage, and these same feelings would apply today.
