Theme: Love between two people who cannot remain

From The Other Side

Do not weep for me my love
My time was up, I had to leave.
Received the calling from above
Now watch your sadness as you grieve.

Your heart is broken, so is mine
My tears cascade like falling rain.
My destiny to walk the line
In death, I too can feel the pain.

You must go on without me there
And when you think of me know this.
The love we had was ours to share
Each other bound in wedded bliss.

My time clock on the earth was through
I’ve crossed now to the other side.
I ask my darling this from you
Forgive the fact that I have died.

To stay with you I had no choice
Though I’m now gone, you’ll feel me near.
Close your eyes, you’ll hear my voice
Call out to you “I love you dear.”

But you still have so much to do
I’ll wait until you come to me.
And when you time is also through
Together, then we’ll always be.
