Homeward Bound

For Craig's contest   Music by Marta Keen
 
       By Your Side

INTRO 

I know you think, I've gone and left you
Leaving tears to fill your eyes
I would never leave you darling
For you and I, there's no goodbyes
There's a fate that does await us
It's a fate, we can't denied
But as long, as I can love you
I'll be forever by your side

The clock was ticking, and we knew it
Time was never on our side
But true love shall last forever
and in its realm we shall abide
I will rest here in the meadow
Before I join you in the sky 
And I promise that forever 
I'll be yours and you'll be mine

I know for now, we share a sorrow
And in our hearts a certain pain
But we must look towards the morrow
To be together once again

The clock was ticking ,and we knew it
Time was never on our side
But true love shall last forever
and in its realm we shall abide
I will rest here in the meadow
Before I join you in the sky 
And I promise that forever 
I'll be yours and you'll be mine

I'll be yours and you'll be mine

Thank you very much Richard, My wife is very much alive---but to write this lyric, all I had to do, was to look ahead to that inevitable day that no one wants to think about.
