A Heartbeat Away

I’ve watched you for so long and from so far away I never meant to leave you i wanted to stay But the choice wasn’t mine and i had to go I’ve watched over the years our family grow and grow Our sons first day at school i watched with such pride I saw the tears that you shed that you could not hide I saw it all from so far away Never missing a moment never missing a day Our daughter’s graduation i watched out of view And as the years passed by i never stopped loving you For I’ve never moved on I’ve stayed frozen in time I’ve watched you grow older more lovely still mine But don’t feel lonely because every single day I’ve been beside you just a heartbeat away Our children are grown up now with their own family ties I know you still grieve me my love i hear your solitary cries I go back to the day you holding me crying As i lay in your arms my life ebbing away-dying But fear not love for your time grows near Hold back your tears and hold back your fear For we shall soon be once again together Bathed in gods golden light forever and ever
