A Lambs Memory
i still think of you everyday
but somehow you are slipping away
the things that were your shadows and reflections
are soon becoming fading recollections
i still have times when i play sad songs
still kiss your picture when i get home
and i still have moments when i can't help myself
i cry out in agony with deepest regret
but lately i've been wondering why
why must i for this woman cry
then i think about the moment we met
how beautiful you were i'll never forget
i'll always have our tender moments
the ones you gave me and the ones i gave you
but this world is temporal and so were you
and like Job said "naked i came into this world
and naked i'll leave"
like light from yesterday separated by night
the past like a bird has taken flight
and sadly now we must say our goodbyes
long farewells with tender cries
my obsession with you will come to a cease
my loving soul from yours released
but whenever i'm lonely i'll think of you
you'll always be my comfort when i need you
so for now we'll begin our sad goodbye
till soon one day i'll no longer cry
