In Remembrance of My Lost Angel

I feel a deep, deep sorrow,
As life nears its final page,
The hardship that comes with age,
I simply can’t help but rage,

But somehow, there’s a special sorrow,
In tears cried for love long gone,
In remembrance, suffuséd with pain
Of my lost angel. 

I feel a deep, deep sorrow,
In promise that’s unfulfilled,
In youth that has been misspent,
In a life with so much regret,

But somehow, there’s a special sorrow,
In tears cried for love long gone,
In remembrance, suffuséd with pain
Of my lost angel. 

Angel, I remember you,
I’ve missed you for so long, 
Angel, you belong 
To memories,

Angel, when I think of you,
I hear sad romantic songs,
Songs that make me long 
For yesterday.

I feel a deep, deep sorrow,
As life nears its final page,
The hardship that comes with age,
I simply can’t help but rage,

But somehow, there’s a special sorrow,
In tears cried for love long gone,
In remembrance, suffuséd with pain
Of my lost angel.

Hi Carl. I think you are right - a special sorrow.

It is, isn't it, Doug, and the longer I'm around, the more I realize that.

I'm so pleased you do, White Wolf, I wrote it as a song a few months ago, and just changed a few words.
