The 23rd of March

Thirty two years ago I was married on this day It should have been forever Things shouldn’t be this way That love I had is dead now I feel so much alone There is no-one here to comfort me No heart, so soul, just stone I always thought we’d be together I never thought we’d end There’s so much love I had for you My heart may never mend My life has much more quality More than I’ve ever known But still this heart inside of me Yearns for a love unknown The lonely days and lonely nights Don’t make up for lost time But still I have this trouble Of trusting one for mine I listen to the lives of some There’ve had just so much fun And I realize with a start in me That mine was never done There’s very few times to talk about Of love and fun we shared It always seems when I look back We worked and never cared We never dined, never went out There was never a rose just given There was never a time that I recall A present just for living It’s the 23rd and here I sit Alone with memories Of dreams I had so long ago When I did marry thee. My world back then was full of love Full of happy thoughts I felt back then that life would be So full of love and sorts For thirty years we were as one Many a year too long It’s over now, and I can say I sing some lonely songs I wish you well in all you do And wish you harmony I hope one day that you will find A happiness that’s free.
