Love of a lifetime at Lafayette

Foundation. I took some flowers to the cemetery and saw a man in deep conversation And wondered what he might be saying? Love of a lifetime at Lafayette (A lone voice whispers) I once ran for a rare taste of true love Ran like a school boy As God smiled from high above And when now I think back Now that I'm old Thinking of all Those times we shared together Sheltered from the cold Times Which heralded such great poetic rhymes Like the sounds of our baby's small favourite toys Which danced around and chimed When found I'll always remember you Gabrielle Dressed in red and blue In my dreams While I dream in The Great-In between My one and only queen The most beautiful woman I've ever seen Who once loved me For a short while In my life The one who showed me kindness and grace within a single look Whenever I felt strife cut deep With its sharp knife And needed Jesus's good luck I still see your beautiful face You know Laying on our bed on my right Before you disappeared Like a moth Into the night And I'll always love you Whenever I remember The one who appeared To love and console me Once in November On the greatest day of my life when we got married And I finally surrendered Goodnight my love My still shining light Who always keeps me centred (C) Copyright John Duffy
