How Young We Were
How Young We Were
My wife’s final day she lost the bout
At the hospital I collapsed my legs gave out
They took me into the emergency
Nothing wrong they said with me
They couldn’t see my heartache
They couldn’t feel my heartbreak
At night when I go to bed
I twist and turn with thoughts in my head
Some nights to sleep is hard for me
Thinking of my wife I wish I could see
On my neck is my wife’s wedding band
I clutch it tightly in my hand
My body is tired and with some pain
Why do I go on what’s to gain
I wish I new the end to my life
I miss so much not being with my wife
I look at pictures how young we were
That’s how I wish to be again with her
