You Shall Never Die
I remember the day we met
It was the best day of my life
I can’t bring myself to forget you
For you are a part of my soul
I remember the hour I first loved you
I know it—I still do
And I will never love you less
As the years progress
I forget about my sad affairs
When I reflect upon that day
Though our communication died,
I still feel there is a way…
I do away with the misery
As I look into your eyes
Your haunting face in a photo
Is a living enmity in my heart
You shall never die
As long as I wait for a new day
And lift you—my future!
By the grave I will faithfully stay
No! It is not a permanent goodbye
We shall thrive together again
As one mind and body
Till then—lie still and I will pray,
“May that new day come today”
