I Will Not Wake You
I will not wake you with tears I cry,
To warm the bed where you lie;
The silence of your nights alone,
Never hear the winds that moan.
Never to touch my lips or eyes,
With your lips or tender sighs;
Your weary clay has turned to dust,
My lonely way has lost it's trust.
I bring a flower for your stone,
To grace a memory I bear alone;
Times spent in our happy years,
Are joined with joys and silent tears.
Make place for me ere I weep,
And wake you from your rest and sleep;
Make room for me to cry with you,
Hold me for I would die with you.
Let's capture all we used to be,
And find it all in eternity.
