Nothing I can say now
And nothing I can do
Can take away the pain each day
I feel at losing you

Nothing in the dream I had
Denied my pain and loss
The sorrow bright in day or night
The love and then the cost

I didn't know the penalty
I didn't know of grief
I only knew that I loved you
With a love so bright, so brief

But I do know you loved me
However short a time
I will recall when I was yours,
And you, my love, were mine

I will rejoice in memory
I will sing through my tears
I will begin to live again
I've lost so many years

Living in the shadow
Of the sorrow of your death
It's not the way, I heard you say
'There's hope while yet there's breath'

Whatever I have felt for you
I will always keep
I see your face in every place
I dream of you in sleep

And yet there can be more than this
It's what I once heard said
'There's room enough in the heart for love
When one once loved is dead'

My love, I'll not forget you
Nor love like that again
You promised me at last I'd see
'We'll fly together in our dream'

And yet while life is left in me
That life I'll live for you
I'll fly the skies to the waiting prize
I promise I'll be true

To the clouds I'll turn now
To search for them again
My kindred dear, long gone from here
I will find them again

And when I have found them,
I'll live, no more alone
I'll find my peace and my release
In quiet, and on my own

And there I will remember
When all was bright and new
Until at last my days are past
Once more I'll be with you
