The light of day is fading
As evening transforms the sky
Gone from my world forever
I cannot tell you good-bye



The beating of my broken heart
Fills the quiet of our home
The clock ticks away the hours
Of another weary day alone

  

Uncertainty now awaits me
In a future so hard to face
Your hearty laughter haunts me
I miss the warmth of your embrace

 

A piece of my empty, aching heart
Will always be reserved for you
Sweet memories engulf my being
As each wasted day is through
