Eternal Life

I have known her all my life
in my 20's I made her my wife
& with a blink the tears fall
as I hold her hand
I hear her tired heart, drum it's last beat
as the room lights up I knew the angels had come
my sweetheart of all my life was gone to heaven & left me behind
for I see you a thousand times my dear every time I close my eyes & 
I know when the time is right, I'll close my eyes
for the very last time & together again
my very best friend we'll hold eachother for eternal life..
