I'm sitting here in my room, holding a photograph
of the two of us when we were young in a garden;
your arm around my shoulder, mine around your waist,
and our little boy standing beside me inspecting a BB gun
that is almost as tall as he
Happy in Love...
It's been a year today and the tears still flow
since you left this world, not by choice
we were so
Happy in Love...
you were my Lion, you gave me courage;
you were my Bear, you gave me strength
I lost you in pieces every day that you were ill.
I lie in bed at night trying to catch a moment with you,
Happy in Love...
but a shadow of your scent on your pillow
I miss you more and more every day
half of me is missing with you gone, forever.
